Imagine if we could bring water from other space bodies in our solar system to Earth.
We know that each planet and even moons in our system have their own unique flavor of water. So, what would happen if we drained them all?
Let's see. First up, we have Mars. The red planet might not have beach resorts like Earth, but it's got something special: frozen water.
Up at the tippy top and down at the bottom of Mars, there are these awesome icy hats called polar ice caps.
The northern cap is made of water and carbon dioxide. The southern cap is a bit fancier because it's mostly made of water ice.
If Mars had its own polar bears, they would feel right at home there. In the winter, it gets even bigger as more stuff freezes onto it.
And during Mars's summertime, these ice caps get a bit smaller with some ice turning into gas. And don't forget about the frozen water hiding in the ground.
Mars might look all rocky and dusty, but it's also got pockets of frozen water beneath the surface.
So, what if we took all this frozen Martian water and poured it onto Earth?
Well, there would be some twists. Martian water is a bit different from Earth's.
