The atmosphere of Mars is much less dense than that of Earth and is composed almost entirely of carbon dioxide. Earth's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen.

Is it true that mars atmosphere is 90 times the density of Earth's?

No, the atmosphere of Mars is about 100 times less dense than Earth's. Earth's atmosphere is composed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen, while Mars has a much thinner atmosphere consisting mostly of carbon dioxide.


Do Mars and earth have similar atmosphere?

No, the atmospheres of Mars and Earth are quite different. Earth's atmosphere is mostly composed of nitrogen and oxygen, while Mars has a thin atmosphere primarily made up of carbon dioxide with trace amounts of other gases. Mars also has much lower atmospheric pressure than Earth.


If your planet Earth was the same distance from the Sun as Mars is would the surface of your planet be as cold as Mars is?

No. The light from the sun has to travel farther to get to Mars, so it losses more intensity than it would if it were only traveling to Earth. As a result, the sun is dimmer on Mars than it is on Earth.


Is the principle gas in the Venusian atmosphere and also a minor component of the atmosphere 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.


Which ways are Venus and mars alike but different from earth?

Venus and Mars are both terrestrial planets like Earth, but they differ in their atmosphere compositions and surface conditions. Venus has a thick toxic atmosphere mostly composed of carbon dioxide, strong greenhouse effect, and extreme heat, making it the hottest planet in our solar system. Mars, on the other hand, has a thin atmosphere, cold temperatures, and evidence of liquid water in the past.

How does earth differ from mars?

Mars is smaller than Earth, so you would not weigh as much there. There is very little atmosphere, so you would also be unable to breathe, and it is pretty cold, since Mars is further from the Sun than Earth.

Does Mars receive radiation from the Sun?

Yes. Earth receives radiation. The atmosphere acts as a filter. The atmosphere of Mars is thinner than Earth. Mars receives radiation also.


Does Mars have a thin atmosphere?
