Best Answer

The sun on Mars looks a little smaller and dimmer as it is further away. Compared to the Earth, the daylight brightness on Mars is only about 40-50% of the Earths. The sky has a reddish hue, due to the red dust in the atmosphere.

How much sunlight does Mars get?

All things being equal, sunlight on Mars at aphelion would be about 36% as strong as sunlight on Earth. But Mars has a thinner atmosphere, so this will brighten it a little. Because your eyes adapt to the available light, the difference would be less noticable. Without a brighter comparison (sunny day vs. cloudy day here), the light would not seem intrinsically less. Since the Sun shows a smaller disk on Mars, shadows are sharper.
