No Mars in Just outside the rim of the "Goldilocks Zone" The Goldilocks zone is refering to a planet far enough from the sun to retain water in the liquid form.
mars being just outside the rim of it isn't able to retain its water in a liquid form so it all froze hence on its poles. plus the planet is consistant of C02 inside the atmosphere and would take millions of years to make it habitable from trees or vegetation. but since the atmosphere is too weak the oxygen would just "float away"

No, Mars is not in the Goldilocks zone. The Goldilocks zone, also known as the habitable zone, refers to a region around a star where conditions are just right for liquid water to exist on the surface of a planet. Mars is outside of this zone and has a thin atmosphere and cold temperatures that do not support liquid water.

Is Venus or Mars in the Goldilocks zone?
Neither. The goldilocks zone refers to a planet which is just the right distance from the Sun to retain water on it's surface. See related link for a pictorial.
What is the zone called where Mars and earth are?
It is called the "Habitable Zone" because water can exist in fluid form. It has also been referred to as the "Goldilocks Zone" . Not to hot and not to cold, but just right.
What planets in your solar system reside outside the Goldilocks zone?
The only planet on our solar system that resides withinthe Goldilocks zone is Earth.The planets that reside outside the Goldilocks zone are:MercuryVenusMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
What is the nickname of Gliese 581 g?
Goldilocks Zone or Goldilocks Planet.
When did they find the new planet Goldilocks?
There is no planet called Goldilocks. You are thinking of the Goldilocks zone. [See related question]
Is Mars not in the sun's goldilocks zone?
Not at the moment. Currently it is just on the outer (cool) edge of the habitable zone [See Link]. However, give a couple of million years this will change as the Sun gets hotter.
How does the Goldilocks zone help scientist narrow down the search for life on other planets?
The 'Goldilocks Zone,' or habitable zone, is the range of distance with the right temperatures for water to remain liquid. Discoveries in the Goldilocks Zone, like Earth-size planet Kepler-186f, are what scientists hope will lead us to water––and one day life.
Is there a planet called the goldilocks?
no, goldilocks is a zone around a star where a planet with appropriate atmospheric pressure can maintain the liquid water on its surface
Why is Gliese 581 g nicknamed goldilocks?
Because Gliese 581 g, if it exists, is located near the middle of the habitable zone (or Goldilocks zone - [See related question]) of its parent star.
Which planet is located in the Goldilocks zone and capable of supporting life?
Earth
Zone around a star where the planet is just the right temperature for life to exist?
The Goldilocks Zone, also known as the habitable zone.
Who discovered the Goldilocks zone?
The concept of the Goldilocks zone was proposed by scientists James Kasting, Dorian Abbot, and others in the 1990s. The idea is that it refers to the habitable zone around a star where conditions are just right for liquid water to exist on the surface of a planet.
