It is actually colder.

Mars is colder than the Earth because it is further from the Sun than the Earth and thus receives less radiation. If it had a significant atmosphere then it could trap some greenhouse gases.

Mars is not hot. Its thin atmosphere and distance from the sun make it so that temperatures are usually very cold.

Runaway greenhouse effect. Solar radiation heats the planet's surface, but cannot escape.
