Carbon 13 should be more enriched than Carbon 12 which is found in our earth, in Mars, because CO2 the carbon-di-oxide is heavy enough to fall on the planet surface and it would not be easily carried away from the atmosphere. Carbon is assimilated in the ground as carbonates and that is why Mars is having thing atmosphere. H2. O2, CH4 and H2O can drift away from atmosphere but not CO2. You don’t get thick clouds around Mars and it is giving a transparent image with CO2 thin atmosphere. If all organisms on our Earth perish one day, and fill the atmosphere with CO2, the predominant green house gas, earth will also present cloudless Mars like feature then. In all probability Mars was once bubbling with life with sufficient water like earth today, when the temperature was livable there. At that time earth should have been hot furnace like Venus and Mercury. Much of the cloud of NH3, and CH4 we had then had gone to earth to produce plants and animals. Oxygen slowly increased by plants and size of the animals also diminished since they no longer require huge lungs to breathe the less content of oxygen in the atmosphere. Thank You.
