{{current_slide_index}} / {{total_slide_count}} The Sun is a yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium. As the sun burns up its hydrogen, it burns more helium and becomes hotter and causes Climate Change. Has zero to do with CO2 content in our atmosphere. sun source of life age 4.5 billion years aged

Water boils at 50F degrees because of that. Mars atmosphere consists of over 95% CO2 which means the ice caps are not H2O ice but CO2 ice aka dry ice. This is because there is not enough hydrogen in the atmosphere to create water to make ice. mars the red planet Length of Year 687 Earth Days Planet Type Terrestrial Radius 3,390 kilometers distance from sun 224,894,231 km {{current_slide_index}} / {{total_slide_count}} Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.
