Answer
-
Water that contains an abundance of sodium ions
-
Water in its liquid state (notice or vapor)
-
Water that remains a constant temperature (with minimal variation)
Question 3
Answer
-
All water on Mars would turn into vapor because Mars is too close to the Sun resulting in surface temperatures that exceed water's boiling point
-
There is no water on Mars in any form
-
Because Mars is small, it has less gravity and has lost its water to space
Question 4
Question
Why do planets need to have an atmosphere in order for liquid water to exist?

Answer
-
Planets without an atmosphere are in a vacuum, and liquid water is unstable in a vacuum (it boils away or freezes)
-
There is no such thing as a planet without an atmosphere
-
Water enters another state of matter (called hydrogrix) when present on planets without an atmosphere
Question 5
Answer
-
It's atmosphere is nearly 100% carbon dioxide causing surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead (too hot for liquid water)
-
It lacks an atmosphere causing a vacuum-like environment in which no life is thought to be able to survive
-
Temperature varies so greatly between boiling hot and freezing cold, it's believed that no life forms could survive there
