How did Mars lose its atmosphere?
The planet Mars is slightly smaller than the Earth and therefore has a weaker gravitational field. Gravity is what holds an atmosphere in place. In a weak gravitational field, an atmosphere will gradually leak away into outer space. That's what happened on Mars.
Did mars lose its atmosphere because of intense solar winds?
Yes. The current theory is that once Mars' core solidified, its magnetic field disappeared, allowing solar wind to gradually dissipate the atmosphere into space.
What is the atmosphere of Mars liike?
mars doesnt have an atmosphere ...
What are the Elements of mars atmosphere?
Mars has an atmosphere that's about 95% carbon dioxide.
Why is Mars atmosphere thin?
The atmosphere on Mars is thin because it is 95.72% carbon dioxide.
How and why did mars lose its atmosphere?
Mars had a molten core that eventually cooled. Causing it to loose its magnetic field allowing solar winds and radiation to "wipe out" its atmosphere.

Did they find methane in the atmosphere of Mars?
Distribution of methane is in the atmosphere of mars.
The atmosphere on Mars is mostly?
The atmosphere on Mars is mostly carbon dioxide.
What is the atmosphere condition of mars?
Mars has a very thin atmosphere. Based on astronomical measurements and information from Mars probes sent by NASA, carbon dioxide dominates the atmosphere of Mars.
Does mars have heavy atmosphere or no atmosphere?
no atmosphere

What caused Mars' atmosphere to decinagrate and lose all its liquid water?
As Mars has cooled, its core has solidified and its geodynamo stopped. The loss of Mars' magnetic field allowed more solar energy to reach the surface. That solar radiation heat dissipated the surface water and atmosphere. Also, because Mars' gravitational field is not as strong as earth's, it was much easier for atoms and molecules at the top of the atmosphere to escape to space. Over millions of years this process led to the loss of most of Mars' atmosphere.
