Martian Dust Storms

Martian dust storms are massive weather events on Mars, where strong winds lift fine dust particles from the surface into the atmosphere. These storms can cover large areas and may last for days to weeks. They can vary from local gusts to planet-wide storms, significantly reducing visibility and sunlight. Dust storms can influence the Martian climate and temperatures, affecting surface conditions. They are a key aspect of Martian weather patterns and have implications for future exploration, as they can impact solar-powered equipment and provide insights into Mars' atmospheric dynamics.
