THE WEATHER
FROM CURIOSITY:
Changing atmospheric
conditions as measured by
Curiosity since its arrival in
Gale Crater. This infographic
shows seasonal temperature
changes, variations in humid-
ity and atmospheric pressure.
A sol is a Martian day, equal
to 24 hours 39 minutes
35 seconds. Since a year
on Mars is about 687
Earth days, its seasons
are correspondingly longer
than those on Earth.
