Does it rain on Mars?
While the red planet’s thin atmosphere and bitter cold temperatures keep these frozen clouds from ever falling in the form of rain and snow we see here on Earth, there is actually a type of precipitation on Mars. “This precipitation most likely takes the form of frost,” NASA explains.
