Corrected entry: If John Carter is able to jump higher and be stronger due to the weaker gravity of Mars, then why is he able to breathe? Low gravity means less atmosphere.

Correction: This is a fictional Mars, inhabited by at least two highly technological races, the Red Martians and the Therns, and thus it is not unreasonable to assume that the technology exists to maintain the atmosphere in a state breathable by the inhabitants. The Barsoom stories, on which the film is based, include references to atmosphere plants, city-sized mechanisms to do exactly that. While these are not mentioned in the film, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, it can be assumed that the plants are indeed present and functional.
