>>14360830This is bullshit and you should feel bad for spreading it.
The amount of atmosphere stripped away by solar eroding is negligible. We know this due to measurements of isotropic concentrations which, having an abundance of heavier isotopes would indicate more atmospheric stripping into space, we find almost no increase in heavy isotopes. You really shouldn't be posting assertions on subjects you know nothing about other than what you picked up in pop sci 20 years ago. That was the ruling hypothesis back then, it has sense been disproven.
Virtually all of the atmospheric loss on Mars was due to geologic processes binding the gasses in minerals such as ammonium perchlorate.
