-What does this mean for southern spring and summer seasons? Mars will be as close to the sun as it ever gets. According to the Kasting OPtimistic Model for determining the location of habitable zones around stars (a.k.a. Goldilocks Zones) - which is based on the triple-point of water - it is only during this brief period that Mars grazes the edge of the habitable zone. The days are long, and the nights are short, and proximity to the sun ensures temperatures can rise to a staggering +35°C. That would be a hot day on Earth.+What does this mean for southern spring and summer seasons? Mars will be as close to the sun as it ever gets.
