Özet

Earth and Mars are planets that are approximately 4.6 billion years old and show similar characteristics to each other at different dates. Approximately 4.2 Billion years ago, Mars had a thick atmosphere like today’s Earth and a strong magnetic field that shields it from the sun's effects. But the change in the internal structure of Mars over time caused the magnetic field of Mars to weaken. Currently, solar wind plasma easily passes through Mars's weak magnetic field and reaches its atmosphere. This event, which causes the Martian atmosphere to be swept into space, also causes its atmosphere to become thinner day by day. In this study, we examined the change in the upper atmosphere layer of Mars and Earth during different levels of geomagnetic storm processes. We interpreted the gas escape event on both planets by comparing them.
