The atmosphere of Mars is hundreds of times thinner than Earth's atmosphere and is made of 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and contains traces of oxygen, water, and methane. It can support dust storms, dust devils, clouds and gusty winds.
With an amazing number of six current live probes exploring Mars, there are many thousands of images available. Only a few, however show atmospheric phenomena. Presented here are some of the best images of Martian atmosphere in action.
