🌡️ Mars: Spring on ground, winter in the air? 🤯

Nasa's Perseverance rover confirmed that Mars can experience drastically different temperatures between the surface and the air. This phenomenon occurs on the Martian equator when the ground reaches 24 degrees Celsius while the air remains near freezing. The measurements were taken in Jezero Crater and show sharp temperature contrasts within 1.5 metres of the ground. This difference is due to Mars' extremely thin atmosphere failing to trap and redistribute solar heat effectively. Future missions must account for these severe thermal stresses when designing equipment for the planet.
