It isn't Earth is closer to the sun, therefore Earth is hotter.
Martian surface temperatures vary from lows of about -87 °C during the polar winters to highs of up to -5 °C in summers.
The wide range in temperatures is due to the thin atmosphere which cannot store much solar heat, the low atmospheric pressure, and the inability of Martian soil to store heat.
The planet is also 1.52 times as far from the sun as Earth, resulting in just 43 percent of the amount of sunlight.
