Terraforming Mars: from CFCs to Total Recall
...greenhouse effect on Mars is also a challenging task. The greenhouse effect involves absorption and re-emission of outgoing infrared radiation by a planet’s atmosphere. On Earth, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapour (H2O) are the two main greenhouse...
