Why atmosphere on earth and mars are both mixtures?

Actually, nearly all of the thin atmosphere of Mars is carbon dioxide.There are small amounts of other gases.Anyway, these atmospheres are mixtures because there isn't much in the way of chemical reactions between the different gases.Most of the Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen and oxygen. These gases usuallyexist together as a mixture without forming chemical compounds.

How do you change mars like earth?

-Take half of earths water to mars. When the waters cycle it causes green house gases in mars making it hotter and the earth has global warming, and countries like Maldives are sinking so it will help the earth too. And for Plants and Animals to survive on mars. -Bacteria, Plants Because the temperature is increasing Animals and plants can now survive on mars. and they will help produce gases which will help producing the atmosphere. -Ozone layer once mars has enough oxygen ozone will be formed.

Is Mars best planet to live?

scientist have said there is a possibility to live on mars but its not yet proven Mars cannot support human life, the only planet that we are aware of that can is the earth, therefore earth is the best planet to live on.

Do Mars and earth have similar atmosphere?

No, the atmospheres of Mars and Earth are quite different. Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, while Mars has a thin atmosphere primarily made up of carbon dioxide with trace amounts of other gases. Mars also has much lower atmospheric pressure than Earth.


Does Mars have a thin atmosphere?

Mars does have a thin atmosphere. Compared to the Earth's atmosphere, Mars' atmosphere is 100 times less dense. It is made up of mostly the elements carbon dioxide and nitrogen.


What types of elements make up the atmosphere on mars?

The atmosphere on Mars is composed mainly of carbon dioxide (95.3%), with nitrogen (2.7%) and argon (1.6%) making up the majority of the remaining gases. There are also trace amounts of oxygen, water vapor, and other gases present.
