Mars is, on the whole, far colder than the Earth, for a couple of reasons. First off, it's farther from the Sun. Secondly, and probably most importantly, Mars has no atmosphere to speak of. The lack of an atmospheric "blanket" means that Mars is unable to retain any heat energy that does get to it from the Sun.
