How hot or cold does mars get?

Mars temperatures can range from about -195°F (-125°C) at the poles during winter to around 70°F (20°C) at the equator during the day. Nighttime temperatures can plummet to around -80°F (-62°C) even at the equator.


How hot and cold is Mars?

Mars can have temperatures as low as -195 degrees Fahrenheit (-125 degrees Celsius) at the poles during winter, while daytime temperatures near the equator can reach about 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius). Overall, Mars' average temperature is around -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 degrees Celsius).


How hot or cold is Mars?

Mars is an amazingly freezing cold planet and is to cold for us to live on. It is colder because it is further away from the sun and we can live because we are more closer to the sun than mars.


A planet with a thin atmosphere is?

Hard to say, as the distance from the star will also factor in, but in general, thin atmosphere would mean no insulation, it would be cold. Mars is a classic example of a planet having a thin atmosphere. It is extremely cold on Mars and has a small amount of carbon dioxide in it's atmosphere but is not in high enough concentration to warm the planet. Mercury has no atmosphere and it is hot and cold depending on which part of the planet is facing the Sun. Venus has a very dense amosphere and it is very hot, no matter which surface is facing the Sun.


Why is planet Mars so hot?

Mars is actually very cold with an average surface temperature of about -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees Celsius). This is because Mars has a thin atmosphere that is not able to trap heat effectively, unlike the thicker atmosphere of Earth.
