- Mars Education | Developing the Next Generation of ExplorersLike Earth, Mars has an atmosphere and weather, but both differ greatly from what we experience on Earth. Let's compare: The composition of the Martian atmosphere differs greatly from Earth's. Earth's atmosphere is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 1.0% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases. It also averages about 1% water vapor.
- Atmosphere of Mars - WikipediaThe atmosphere of Mars is the layer of gases surrounding Mars.It is primarily composed of carbon dioxide (95%), molecular nitrogen (2.8%), and argon (2%). It also contains trace levels of water vapor, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and noble gases. The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than Earth's.The average surface pressure is only about 610 pascals (0.088 psi) which is less than 1% of ...
- NASA's MAVEN Reveals Most of Mars' Atmosphere Was Lost to SpaceThe new result reveals that solar wind and radiation were responsible for most of the atmospheric loss on Mars, and the depletion was enough to transform the Martian climate. The solar wind is a thin stream of electrically conducting gas constantly blowing out from the surface of the sun. The early Sun had far more intense ultraviolet radiation ...

- In Depth | Mars – NASA Solar System ExplorationAtmosphere. Atmosphere. 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. Mars' sparse atmosphere doesn't offer much protection from impacts by such objects as meteorites, asteroids, and comets.
