Mars is a planet, not a moon. All of the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mar) have atmospheres though none except Earth would support Earth's higher animal life.

The gas planets (Saturn, Jupiter, etc.) don't have a surface so it's hard to figure out what an atmosphere on them is.

Mercury has much less mass than Mars primarily due to its smaller size and composition.

The differences in their formation and the amount of material available in the early solar system also contribute to Mercury's lower mass compared to Mars.
