Why is the day length of Mars so closely similar to Earth's? The outer gas giants rotate very rapidly by comparison while the other two rocky planets rotate very slowly. Also the Martian axial tilt is about the same as Earth's. Was Mars also impacted in the ancient past by a large planetoid? Why doesn't Mars have a big moon like Earth then?

Mars was clearly designed by God to be our second home.

Designed by God so we may experience the Solar Eclipse.

Clouds are made up of small water droplets, though. Water vapour isn't visible to the human eye.

You've never seen steam before? Its just a question of density mate, is it a thick cloud of gaseous water or a thin cloud

this, nigga. Can you see the difference between 30% or 60% humidity in a room?

Roughly equal angular momenta. Perhaps the result of tidal locking at some point in its past.

Mars probably has underground lakes.

If that were the case Mars would have very short days
