They don't have equal amounts of carbon dioxide. They have about the same the same relative abundances of carbon dioxide, both about 96%, but the atmosphere of Mars as a whole is several thousand times less dense than that of Venus, so the total amount of gas and thus the total amount of carbon dioxide on Mars is much less. This results in Mars having a much weaker greenhouse effect. Additionally, Mars is farther from the sun than Venus, so it receives less heat.

Does carbon dioxide have particulates?

Carbon dioxide does contain particles. One of the carbon dioxide particles is referred to as carbon dioxide hydrate particle. All matter is made up of different particles. Carbon dioxide is a compound.

Is sulfur dioxide given off by burning petroleum?

Some petroleum fuels such as Bunker C or heavy diesel contain significant amounts of sulphidic compounds and some natural fuel gases are known as sour when they contain hydrogen sulfide. In both of these cases when the fuels are burned they will produce sulphur dioxide. In automotive diesel there is a small amount of sulphur. This, because of the combustion conditions, is not released as sulpur dioxide, but as solid sulfate particulate. Fuels which contain no sulphur (refined and treaterd by sulphur removal) do not give off sulphur dioxide.


How are a sulfur molecule and a sulfur dioxide molecule similar?

Both a sulfur molecule (S8) and a sulfur dioxide molecule (SO2) contain the element sulfur. Beyond that they are very different.
