Mars was once a tropical paradise, scientists suggest.

Mars was once habitable, but was it a paradise period lasting long enough for some primitive organisms to form? There is a possibility. The planet Mars had once been in a similar trajectory. To Earth. Then, some violent cosmic event. Like an impact with another planet or a large asteroid, it pushed Mars into a trajectory. There it is today. The solar system’s violent history might have whipped many planets and probably some lifeforms away. Maybe there were more than one protoplanet in the habitable zone around the young sun. Cosmic catastrophes destroyed most of those objects. 

There is also a possibility that planet Mars was once larger than it is now. The meteorite or meteorite swarm stripped the lithosphere off that planet. And maybe that event whipped the last changes of lifeform formation off that planet. But were there lifeforms? The answer is that nobody is sure. It’s possible that the remnants of those lifeforms still exist. But there is one thing that we must consider.

Lightning on Mars can form when dust devils or dust tornadoes form a structure. That is like a generator. The static electricity of the iron-rich sand particles forms the lightning. When those particles form the tornado-shaped structure. That tornado acts as a generator that forms lightning. And maybe that lightning formation explains. A loss of some probes that lost contact with Earth on that planet.

The planet must have a melted core that makes a generator in that planet. That generator forms a magnetic field that pushes solar wind out from the planet's atmosphere. If there is no magnetic field, that means solar wind just pushes that gas layer out from around the planet. There are two ways in which this kind of magnetic field can form. Internal or external effects can form magnetic fields. The internal effect is the magnetic core that surrounds the mantel. 

Because the mantle orbits the core, sometimes in the opposite direction. That forms the magnetic field. Another version is that plasma whirls orbit the core. The icy asteroid that small magnetic particles cover can have a magnetic field. If there is a plasma whirl that surrounds that small icy bite. The magnetic field must be strong enough. It can turn solar wind away. If that doesn’t happen, the solar wind blows the atmosphere off the planet. 

If there is volcanic activity, like a hot core, on that planet. That opens the route. To find lifeforms that use volcanic or geothermal temperatures for their energy source. Those kinds of organisms might live deep under the Martian surface. There is water ice on that planet. And volcanic temperature can mean that there is liquid water deep underground. Magnetic activity on that planet. Means that Mars. Has a similar core to Earth. Another interesting thing is that the Red Planet has lightning. This thing requires. That there is some kind of electromagnetic phenomenon.
