A tiny fraction of a percent. Mars has an extremely thin atmosphere, and what it does have is mostly Carbon Dioxide.
No. Earth's atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and oxygen. The atmosphere of Mars is much thinner ans is made mostly of carbon dioxide.
The atmosphere of Mars is much less dense than that of Earth and is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide. Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen.
Not much gas at all, as Mars is a rocky planet with not much of an atmosphere.
Mars, Venus's atmosphere is thicker than Earth's. Much thicker.
the Martian atmosphere is made up of 95% Carbon Dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and 0.4% oxygen.

The atmosphere of Mars is much less dense than that of Earth and is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide. Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen.
Mars does have an atmosphere, but it doesn't have much. The thin atmosphere of Mars is almost entirely carbon dioxide (95.3%) with about 2.7% nitrogen and 1.6% argon. The free oxygen content is only about 0.13%, with most of the oxygen bound to the oxidized rock on the surface of the planet.

Mars has too LITTLE OXYGEN for humans to live on. Earth's atmosphere has about 21% Oxygen at 1 atmosphere of pressure, but you can live on higher percentages of oxygen at lower pressures such as in NASA spacesuits. While Carbon Dioxide is toxic to humans at high concentrations, you would likely suffocate to death from lack of oxygen first on Mars.

Mars has an atmosphere, though it is different than our atmosphere here on Earth. The atmosphere of Mars is thin, cold, and dry and contains much less oxygen than the atmosphere of Earth. The oxygen content of the Martian atmosphere is only 0.13 percent, compared with 21 percent in Earth's atmosphere. Carbon dioxide makes up 95.3 percent of the gas in the atmosphere of Mars. It also contains nitrogen and argon and very small amounts of water and methane. Additionally, the atmospheric pressure on Mars is only about 1/100 that of Earth's!
Both Mars and Venus have atmosphere made mostly of carbon dioxide. The atmosphere of Venus is much denser.
While we would find it pretty thin breathing (and poisonous, to boot!) Mars does have an atmosphere, and there IS some oxygen in it.At its densest, Mars's atmosphere is only about 1% the density of Earth's and consists mainly of carbon dioxide (95%) and nitrogen (3%), with trace amounts of water, oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and methane having also been identified.Earth's atmosphere, on the other hand, is mostly nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) with 1% being a mix of hydrogen, carbon dioxide and others.So you can see that Mars has much less atmosphere than the Earth does and oxygen make a proportionally much smaller fraction of of what there is than what we have on Earth.
Mars, Venus's atmosphere is thicker than Earth's. Much thicker.
Because too much oxygen is harmful to the environment.
