| May 10, 2023 at 11:02 | comment | added | Kal Madda | @rek Thank you, I guess I thought Mars was all desert, because several times in my research I saw Mars referred to as a desert planet. But now that you mention it, frozen poles make some sense. | |
| May 10, 2023 at 4:24 | comment | added | rek | What you've missed is that there's no such thing as a single climate planet. That's not how solar input across a spherical surface works. Even as a 'dead' planet Mars has more than one climate – it has frozen poles and a temperate equator. | |

| May 10, 2023 at 2:29 | comment | added | Robert Rapplean | Mars isn't a single-environment planet, it's a dead planet. No ecosystem whatsoever. That's true of any planet where there's no liquid water. It might be possible to have biomes based on some other solvent, but not human habitable ones. | |

| May 10, 2023 at 2:00 | comment | added | Kal Madda | @AncientGiantPottedPlant I just added some details to my question. Hopefully that helps? Thanks for the advice, I’m trying to be as clear as I can. | |

I added additional details.

| May 8, 2023 at 20:12 | comment | added | Kal Madda | That other question you linked doesn’t answer my question. I’m not asking whether single-climate planets are possible (look at Mars, clearly they are possible), I’m asking about whether it would be more likely that artificially terraformed planets would be single-climate (like Mars) or multi-climate (like Earth). So I can see why you thought it was similar (it’s kind of related) but it definitely is not the same question, and so none of the answers there are actually very useful to me. | |

I clarified that I’m asking which method would be the most practical for the terraformers to choose?
