Mars began losing its atmosphere around 4 billion years ago, primarily due to a combination of factors including a lack of a strong magnetic field, which allowed solar winds to strip away atmospheric particles. The planet's volcanic activity and the subsequent cooling also contributed to this loss. By about 3 billion years ago, Mars had transitioned to the thin atmosphere we see today, which is primarily composed of carbon dioxide.
