Because of its thinner atmosphere and greater distance from the sun, Mars is a cold planet. The Mars Pathfinder recorded midsummer temperatures ranging from -13c to -77c. The Martian atmosphere, which is composed mostly of carbon dioxide, is very thin. Because the temperature and air pressure in the Martian atmosphere are so low, liquid water cannot persist on Mars' surface.

Why are surface temperatures on mars so low?
Because mars has a thinner atomsphere and greater distance from the sun.
What kind of evidence would the mars exploration rovers be looking for that indicated that water once flowed on mars?
Is there water on Mars :) ???????????????surface temperatures on Mars are too low for liquid water to exist and Mars has no rivers, seas, or oceans. However, there was water once. I know this because I am an austernaut that studdys Mars. And Mars has dried up water channelsYes there is water on Mars
What is the high and low temps of Mars?
The temperatures on Mars range from -87°C (-125°F) to -5°C (23°F).
What keeps the gases in the gas giants from escaping?
Gravity, combined with low surface temperatures.
How low can the temperature be on mars?
The lowest temperature ever recorded on Mars was -191 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest was -24 degrees.
Why are surface temperatures on mars so low?

How often does it flood on mars?
There is no liquid water on the surface of Mars. The atmospheric pressure is so low and the temperatures are so cold that any water on the surface would freeze and boil at the same time.

What group of stars has relatively low lumunosity and relatively low surface temperatures?
Red Dwarfs
The average temperature on the surface of the earth is 15 degrees. On the surface of Mars, the average temperature is -50 degrees. What is the difference in these two temperatures?
65
Could microbes from earth be transferred to mars or other planets on the surface of probes sent to these planets?
Microbes from Earth can be transferred to Mars or other planets on the surface to these planets but the overall risk is very low. Due to the harsh conditions of space, most microbes will suffocate or die from the extreme temperatures long before they reach another planet.
Does Mars have lava?
Mars does not have lava, but probably has magma due to radioactive decay.
