Earth has one of the most interesting weather systems. Its atmosphere is ideal for moving hot and cold air around, and a hydrological cycle allows for precipitation. But throughout our solar system, there are other planets that have more extreme and also fascinating weather patterns worth exploring.
1. Mars
Mars has weather and in certain ways, it’s similar to that of Earth. For example, it has seasons and it has winds. But in other ways, it’s very different.
The orbit of the planet causes the mostly carbon atmosphere to go from freezing to much warmer and it serves to kick up a global dust storm that periodically sends the Red Planet into a tizzy.
The temperatures on Mars are also much more extreme than on Earth. NASA's Mars Perseverance rover, for example, has recorded temperatures ranging from negative 14 degrees Fahrenheit to negative 120 degrees Fahrenheit in a single day.
