Why is water abundant on earth but unavailable in the other planets?
In: Chemistry
Temperature. Earth sits in what’s called the goldilocks zone (after the story with the three bears). Not too hot, not too cold. On the planets either side of us, Venus is too hot and all the water evaporated away, Mars is too cold and the water is locked as ice.
We could easily melt ice on Mars if we needed water, it’s just not flowing freely. Venus on the other hand is simply too hot.
