i hope this isn't a dumb question but is mars' gravity strong enough to hold its own atmosphere?

Yes but without its magnetosphere* the atmosphere is tenuous[^]. * Not an X-Men character

Assumption is the mother of all .... The glaciers, perhaps 200 million years old, also may entomb genetic fragments of past microbial life on Mars as well as air bubbles that might reveal the composition of the atmosphere as it was long ago, according to geologist James Head of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
The only programmers that are better those C# programmers are those who code in 1's and 0's :bob:

yes, but scientist need to make assumptions to start with... physicists assume a lot whenever trying to prove something, and look what physicists have given us. :)

I hear tell that mars's gravity is not even strong enough to hold its atmosphere which is being ripped away gradually by the solar wind.
