The Martian atmosphere is mainly CO2 and as Mars atmosphere is so thin it actually has about the same amount of CO2 in its atmosphere as earth. So there really isn´t alot there. There is even less nitrogen. And as nitrogen is essential to life this also means that humans can never settle on Mars. Because what are you going to eat considering that the Martian atmosphere doesn´t even have enough nitrogen to grow the grass on a golfcourse?

Mars does have a gravity, though it is 1/3 that of Earths. Between the moon and Mars they are really the only possible locations for future human habitation.

Mars atmosphere is almost all carbon dioxide. There are traces of other gasses, but it is mostly CO2.

very little! just a bit of CO2, and a bit of N2 and maybe a very little bit of O2, but for the most part, nothing
