Mars dust devil can be seen as a smaller one in a series of photos taken by the nasal rhover in NASA.

Dust demons are formed by the height and rotation of columns of warm air.
The air is heated near the surface of the planet by contact with the warmer Earth and rises through more intense and cooler air above.
While the other air moves along the surface to occupy the warmer air location, it begins to spin.
When the incoming air rises to the column, it picks up the speed like the spinning iceberg that approaches their bodies.
The air that also rushes to get rid of dust, and generates dust devil.
“The dust demons play an important role in the Mars weather styles,” said Dr. Katy Stack Morgan, the scientist of the perseverance project, a researcher at the NASA jet laboratory.
“Dust Devil’s study is important because these phenomena refer to weather conditions, such as the prevailing and speed wind directions, and are responsible for about half of the dust in the atmosphere of Mars.”
Viking orbits in NASA, in the 1970s, were the first spacecraft to depict the Mars Dust demons.
After two decades, the agency’s Pathfinder was the first to photograph one from the surface until the dust devil that passes over the landing was discovered.
TWIN Rovers Spirit and the opportunity to capture its fair share of the soil boats.
Curiosity, which explores a site called Mount Sharp in Gale Crate on the other side of Mars as perseverance, also sees them.
Since the landing in 2021, the perseverance photographed the Zaqa on many occasions, including one on September 27, 2021, where a group of dust demons danced across the Jezero Crater floor and used Rover Supercam to record the first sounds of Mars dust.

When the perseverance took new photos of about 1 km (0.6 miles), the larger dust demon was about 65 meters (210 feet), while the smaller dust devil was about 5 meters (16 feet).
Two dust demons can also be seen in the background on the left and the center.
The perseverance recorded the scene on January 25, 2025, where the western edge of the Mars jezero was explored.
“The convection swirls – also known as Dust Devils – can be somewhat evil,” said Dr. Mark Limon, the world of perseverance, a researcher at the Space Science Institute.
“These miniature boats wander around the surface of Mars, pick up dust while going and lowering vision in their direct area.”
“If a dust is a dust on each other, they can either obliterate each other or integrate, with the strongest consuming the weakest.”
