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.

Because there is no water and oxygen
Atmoshere on Mars?
It has a thin atmosphere, mainly of carbon dioxide (95%), with some nitrogen, argon and a small amount of oxygen.
Why can't Mars sustain life?
There is not enough oxygen on Mars. Also, it is extremely cold.
If there are trees on Mars how is there no oxygen there?
No trees on Mars as far as we know.
Can you make air on Mars?
That depends on what the bubble is made out of. If you are talking about a soap bubble, no. There is only a virtual atmosphere on Mars - just a bit of this and that floating around. The pressure of just about any amount of gas applied to blow a soap bubble would burst it immediately. The soap film is only strong enough to make a bubble in a situation where there is some amount of atmosphere around it. On Earth, we have the pressure of the atmosphere all around us under normal circumstances. On Mars, forget it. Of course, if you constructed a pressure dome there, you could maintain the same sort of atmospheric pressure that exists naturally on Earth.
Is there oxyen on Mars?
There is a very small amount of oxygen on Mars. The oxygen level in Marsâ?? atmosphere said to be around .145%.
Would a human suffocate on Mars?
Yes humans will suffocat on Mars. Human depend on Oxygen to breathe and without oxygen, we will die. Oxygen is present in th Earth's atmosphere and it is not on Mars. To survive on Mars, we need to use an astronaut's suit with oxygen support.

How would you get oxygen on a trip to mars?
an oxygen tank
Can a human survive the climate of Mars?
