Data on the optical properties of the Martian atmosphere and the nature of its high transparency obtained on the basis of observations from the Viking-1 and -2 have been analyzed. The analysis indicates that the values obtained for the effective radius of particles do not agree with the results of polarimetric observations, and that, in periods when images of the sun were obtained, the optical properties of the planet's atmosphere were unstable. It is contended that, since the latter was not taken into consideration when the Viking observations were processed, it can be concluded that the above data on the optical properties of the Martian atmosphere are erroneous.
