What gas makes the most of the Martian atmosphere?
The gas that makes the most of the Martian atmosphere.
Answer to Problem 11RQ
Most of the atmosphere of Mars is made of carbon dioxide and it is near
Explanation of Solution
The atmosphere of Mars is very thin because of the weak gravitational force due to less mass of Mars. The atmosphere of Mars is made of carbon dioxide and oxygen. The carbon dioxide is in a very abundant amount and nearly
The escape velocity of the gases on Mars is smaller than on the Earth, so the atmosphere of Mars is very thin compared to Earth.
Conclusion:
Therefore, most of the atmosphere of Mars is made of carbon dioxide and it is near to the total gasses in the atmosphere of Mars.
