Mars has too LITTLE OXYGEN for humans to live on. Earth's atmosphere has about 21% Oxygen at 1 atmosphere of pressure, but you can live on higher percentages of oxygen at lower pressures such as in NASA spacesuits. While Carbon Dioxide is toxic to humans at high concentrations, you would likely suffocate to death from lack of oxygen first on Mars.

"The atmosphere on Mars consists of 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, and 1.6% argon, and contains traces of oxygen, water, and methane..."
What else can I help you with?
How does the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere affect life?
Carbon absorbs reactant chemicals. In some cases of poisonings eating a bunch of charcoal is a temporary measure in containing the poison before the stomach can be pumped. Otherwise pure carbon is pretty nonreactive.
Do trees help us by absorbing carbon dioxide?
Yes, they absorb the carbon dioxide. They make sugars for their own food and release free nitrogen back into the soil. It is part of the carbon cycle. So therefore, they intake some of the carbon so that we have the perfect amount to live.
What would happen to a leaf without carbon dioxide?
A leaf without carbon dioxide would not be able to undergo photosynthesis, which is the process that allows plants to produce glucose and oxygen. This would ultimately lead to the leaf being unable to create energy to support its functions, resulting in stunted growth and eventually death.
How many pounds of carbon dioxide is remove form the atmosphere annually when a tree is removed?
When a tree is removed, it can release the carbon dioxide it has stored over its lifetime back into the atmosphere, instead of removing it. So, the removal of a tree can actually lead to an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, depending on how the tree is handled and if it is replaced with new plantings.
What role do trees play in the carbon dioxide cycle?
Carbon dioxide is an essential element of photosynthesis, which produces glucose and oxygen for trees and all plants in general.
Can you live on mars with just the carbon dioxide?
yes
Why can't live on Mars?
Humans cannot permanently live Mars with current technology because the atmosphere of Mars is very thin, and it is made up of mostly carbon dioxide. Also, Mars can have nice 70-degree days, but many times it is below freezing.
Where do humans get the carbon dioxide you need to live?
You don't need carbon dioxide to live...I think you're thinking of oxygen.
Can monkeys live on Mars?
No, Mars is a barren planet with no liquid water, no plants, and the atmosphere is almost all carbon dioxide.
How are you going to get to Mars?
Mars atmosheric pressure is roughly the same as the peak of Mt. Everest, Can you live in Mars temps in the winter can reach -65F and people climb Everest and people live in Alaska, however Mars atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide which is poison to humans, and Mars lacks a magnetic field so it is constantly being bombarded by solar radiation but no i don't think we can get there or live there
Can we live in Mars?
No, we currently cannot. Humans cannot permanently live on Mars with current technology because the atmosphere of Mars is very thin, and it is made up of mostly carbon dioxide. Also, Mars can have nice 70-degree days, but many times it is below freezing.
Why do plants cows and humans make carbon dioxide?
Plants don't make carbon dioxide, they produce oxygen. Humans and cattle, like all animals, produce carbon dioxide because we need oxygen in our bodies to function properly and live, and in order to do so oxygen gets converted into carbon dioxide which must be excreted or exhaled out of our systems so that more oxygen can be drawn back in.
if other live forms existed, how would they breathe and what air would they need to survive?
I think they would breathe with carbon dioxide and would live on mars.
Is there enough atmosphere to live on Mars?
No, Mars does not have a thick enough atmosphere or enough essential resources like water to support human life as we know it. The atmosphere on Mars is mostly carbon dioxide and very thin, making it inhospitable for humans without significant technology and resources.
Why is human important to plants?
Plants give off oxygen in which humans live off. And in return humans give off carbon dioxide in which plants live off.
Can you live in an atmosphere that consists of carbon dioxide?
No, you cannot live in an atmosphere that consists solely of carbon dioxide. Humans and most other animals require oxygen for respiration, and a high concentration of carbon dioxide can be toxic, leading to suffocation. While some organisms, like certain bacteria and plants, can thrive in carbon dioxide-rich environments, they have evolved mechanisms to utilize it for energy or survival.
Should the US push the exploration of mars?
YES! I'm doing a report on Mars and there is frozen water caps that have carbon- dioxide in them! Scientists say that there may have been previous life on Mars, that means humans might one day be able to live on Mars!! Lets put it this way, would you think the US should push the exploration of a planet humans might be able to live on? If you don't, I don't exactly understand your thinking. 8-) B-) SMILES! Have a great day or night!
