Why does liquid water boil away when exposed to the Martian atmosphere?
A) the surface of Mars is much hotter than the surface of Earth
B) it is quickly absorbed into the dry soil
C) the low air pressure lowers the boiling point
OD) radiation from the Sun passes through Mars' atmosphere and boils the water.

Any water that might form on a warm afternoon from melting water would quickly disappear in the desiccated martian atmosphere
