What makes up the atmosphere of the planet mars?
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.

ANSWER from Mary Urquhart on April 3, 1997: You couldn't light a fire on Mars because there isn't oxygen in the atmosphere to react with the material you want to burn. Fire is a chemical reaction where oxygen combines with other substances and produces heat and waste products (like carbon dioxide and soot when you burn wood).
