Type of atmosphere of mars?
Mars has a thin atmosphere, mainly of Carbon Dioxide (95.32%). Nitrogen makes up 2.7%, Argon 1.6%, Oxygen 0.13% and Carbon Monoxide makes up around 0.08%. Mars' surface pressure is around 0.7 kPa, around 0.7% of Earths surface pressure.
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.
Which planet has a low air pressure and is mostly carbon dioxide?
It depends on what you mean. If you mean made up of as in the material that the surface mostly is then none that I know of. If you mean atmosphere then you have Venus, Mars, small amounts of it on Earth and probably on all the gas giants. Mercury and Pulto have thin atmospheres of nitrogen.
