      I like studying this planet because I can go outside and see the meteorology for myself. I would love to travel to another planet to see the weather there but I think that’s pretty unlikely (although I do have 2 friends who worked in Antarctica then made it into the final group for astronaut training but they did not get the job in the end).

      There are people studying the weather on other planets, like the big storm on Jupiter called the Red Spot. Some scientists who study the ice caps in Antarctica use their knowledge to study the ice caps on Mars too!
