What is the main component of Mars' atmosphere?
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!
Is Mars made of gas or rock?
No. Mars has a rocky surface and a metallic core.
Is the principal gas in the Venusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmospheres of Earth and Mars?

There is a bit of confusion here. The Main gas of the atmosphere of Venus, carbon dioxide, is also the main gas of the atmosphere of Mars. This gas is a minor component of Earth's atmosphere.
What is one way that both atmospheres of venus and mars differ from earth's?
On both Venus and Mars, the most abundant gas in the atmosphere is carbon dioxide. On Earth nitrogen is the most abundant gas.
