Mars is more likely to have life that is similar to ours here on Earth. Mars'atmosphere is much thinner than ours and consists of mainly carbon dioxide. Its surface temperature is -60°C. The only water that exists on Mars is in its North polar cap. Martian soil is unable to support life, since it has less organic matter in it than the Moon's surface. If life did exist here, it would probably live under the frozen Northern polar cap. Here tiny little pieces of life called "microbes" could live,eat, and breathe.
These microbes could be much like microbes that live right here on Earth. In frigid Antarctica, millions and millions of microbes live under the polar cap. In fact, in recent months there has been much debate as to whether life did exist on Mars long ago. We'll just have to wait and see...in the mean time, use your imagination!
