Mars.
Mars has a thin atmosphere and polar caps made of a combination of water ice and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). The atmosphere on Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth's atmosphere.
Mars is a planet known to have polar caps consisting of water ice and carbon dioxide. These polar ice caps are located at the north and south poles of the planet.
No, the polar caps of Mars are not believed to be composed entirely of frozen carbon dioxide. The polar caps consist of a mixture of water ice and carbon dioxide ice (dry ice). The carbon dioxide ice is most abundant during the winter.
carbon dioxide
Mars has two polar ice caps located at its north and south poles. These ice caps are composed of water ice and carbon dioxide ice, and play a crucial role in the planet's climate and geology.
Mars has a thin atmosphere and polar caps made of a combination of water ice and dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). The atmosphere on Mars is about 100 times thinner than Earth's atmosphere.
The atmosphere of Mars contain 95,32 % carbon dioxide. In the polar zones carbon dioxide is as dry ice.
Carbon dioxide
While the Martian polar caps are mostly water ice, Mars does have a permanent southern polar cap layer of carbon dioxide about eight meters thick.
Carbon dioxide is a non-polar molecule containing polar covalent bonds in its atoms.
non-polar molecule
Sodium iodide has ionic bonds, which are always polar. Carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas both have molecular (covalent) bonds; the ones in carbon dioxide are polar and those in elemental hydrogen molecules (H2) are nonpolar.

With the break up of the supercontinenent, Rodinia, there were of course many smaller continents which led to more rainfall and consequently less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (since rain "washes" the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere). As a result of less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, temperatures dropped and ice began to form in polar regions.

carbon dioxide
It is a non-polar molecule. But it has polar covalent bonds between its atoms
