They have to do with the atmosphere
The presence of methane and possibly nitrogen suggests that Makemake could have a transient atmosphere similar to that of Pluto.
They are both found n the earth's atmosphere.
Titan, Saturn's largest moon, has an atmosphere that contains methane, which makes up about 1.4% of its atmosphere. The dense atmosphere on Titan is primarily composed of nitrogen, similar to Earth's atmosphere.
The composition of Mars' atmosphere strongly resembles that of Venus, with both primarily made up of carbon dioxide. However, Venus has a much thicker atmosphere compared to Mars.
