Those are water clouds. Oops I forgot my sources for those pictures:

There are also dust clouds and dry-ice clouds where it's cold enough.
I just seem to remember from the 90s the big thing being "does mars have water?" and then it was "ooh look it does but its all trapped in the poles under the surface" and now it's right there floating in the sky where presumably an orbiting spectrometer could have seen it decades ago.
Of course, my memory may be inaccurate.
