The atmosphere of Mars has a mass of 2.5 x 10^16 kg and comprises two major species: carbon dioxide (95%) and nitrogen gas (3%). Given that the equatorial radius of Mars is 3,397 km, calculate the mass of a single column of atmosphere over a 1 m^2 surface area on the planet. Assume that the planet is a smooth sphere with no variation in landscape.
Please explain how you got the answer.
