On a recent edition of "Nova," one of their scientists suggested
that the atmosphere of Mars was reduced because Mars lost its magnetic
field when its interior cooled. The solar wind then eroded the
atmosphere to its present level.
So along with the moon's low escape velocity, it has no pretective
magnetosphere to preserve an atmosphere.

The book is great! I have a kindergarten friend who actually introduced me
to that book. I use it in class for all levels and they love it....
