Mars does not provide heat - it is actually a cold planet. It absorbs a lot of heat from the sun during it's day, but having almost no atmosphere, it radiates that heat right back out into space again at night.

Yes, Mars has a thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide, with trace amounts of nitrogen and argon. The atmosphere is much less dense than Earth's and does not provide significant protection from solar radiation or help retain heat.

Was Mars ever suitable for life?

Yes mars did may had life before earth have life. Mar had a bigger moon that give it( mars ) heat a force field to protect from the sun solar wind which is very deadly. The heat gave water, because mar had ice. Mars later hit its own moon, which may have destroy all life on mars.

Why is it hotter on Venus than on Mars?

Venus is hotter than Mars because of its thick atmosphere mainly composed of carbon dioxide, which creates a greenhouse effect trapping heat from the sun. Mars has a much thinner atmosphere, which cannot retain heat as effectively. Additionally, Venus is closer to the sun than Mars, further contributing to its higher temperatures.


Why are surface tempertues on Mars low?

There are two reasons. First, Mars is farther from the sun than Earth is and so receives less heat. Second, it has a thin atmosphere, which means it cannot hold on to heat as well.


If your planet Earth was the same distance from the Sun as Mars is would the surface of your planet be as cold as Mars is?

No. The light from the sun has to travel farther to get to Mars, so it losses more intensity than it would if it were only traveling to Earth. As a result, the sun is dimmer on Mars than it is on Earth.


Which planet is warmer than earth .. Jupiter or Mars?

Jupiter is much warmer than Mars. Jupiter's atmosphere contains gases that trap heat, creating extremely high temperatures throughout the planet. Mars, on the other hand, has a thin atmosphere that does not retain heat well, resulting in much colder temperatures.
