Why are Mars' seasons more extreme than those of the earth? Mars' orbit is more eccentric than our almost circular one. Mars' weather is driven by evaporation from the polar ice in its summer. Mars' axial tilt is slightly more than our 23.5 degrees. Mars' seas dried up long ago.
(laÉª) vb (intr) , lies, lying, lay (leÉª) or lain (leÉªn) 1. (often foll by down) to place oneself or be in a prostrate position, horizontal to the ground. 2. to be situated, esp on a horizontal surface: the pencil is lying on the desk; India lies to the south of Russia. 3. to be buried: here lies Jane Brown.
The difference between the verbs lay and lie is one of Englishâs thornier cases of confusion. Both words involve something or someone in a horizontal position, but where the two words deviate has to do with who or what is horizontalâthe subject of the verb (the one doing the action) or the direct object (the person or thing being acted upon).
