Where is the biggest dust storm zone on Mars typically found?
Quick Answer
Mars’s largest dust storms often form in the southern hemisphere, especially during the planet’s spring and summer. These storms can grow to cover the whole planet.
The Full Story
Global-scale dust storms on Mars usually begin in the southern hemisphere, where seasonal heating can lift huge amounts of dust into the atmosphere. The planet’s thin air allows fine dust to stay suspended and spread widely. The famous 2018 storm showed how quickly a local dust event can become planet-wide. Mars does not have Earth-like rain to clear the dust, so the atmosphere can remain hazy for long periods.
