Detailed explanation-1: -According to ESA (opens in new tab), Mars’ atmosphere is composed of 95.32% carbon dioxide, 2.7% nitrogen, 1.6% argon and 0.13% oxygen. The atmospheric pressure at the surface is 6.35 mbar which is over 100 times less Earth’s. Humans therefore cannot breathe Martian air.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mars has a thin atmosphere made up mostly of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon gases. To our eyes, the sky would be hazy and red because of suspended dust instead of the familiar blue tint we see on Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mars’ atmosphere is about 95 percent carbon dioxide, in contrast to Earth’s much thicker atmosphere, which is less than . 04 percent carbon dioxide.
Detailed explanation-4: -For example, Venus and Mars have more than 98% of their atmosphere in carbon dioxide and nitrogen, while Earth has 99% of its atmosphere in nitrogen and oxygen.
