Is it hot or cold on mars?

Answer 1

Mars is never what we would call "hot." It is too far from the Sun. You probably know that Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun. Mars is about 142 million miles from the Sun (on average). In the winter, Mars can get as cold as minus 60 degrees Celsius. In the summer, the temperature on Mars reaches about 60 degrees below zero. So, although summer is much warmer than winter, it is never as warm as Earth. The difference in temperature is due to the fact that Mars is tilted on its axis. Just like the Earth, as Mars orbits the Sun, the seasons change. But, all the seasons on Mars are cold!

The highest recorded surface temperature on Mars is 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest recorded atmospheric temperature is -20 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

Yes. Temperatures reach the 90's Fahrenheit at equatorial Mars, which is 35 million miles further from the Sun than us. (http://marsrover.NASA.gov/spotlight/20070612.html)...but can also dive to -100's F that same night! As the article says, "That would be like going from a beach in Hawaii to the South Pole in mid-winter ... every day!" The average temp on Mars is said to be -67 F. The Viking orbiter in 1976 recorded a high of 81 F at the equator and a low of -225 at the polar cap.

Answer 3

It is so sunny that you never know how much I know for looking stuff up on bing Austin Mahome has swag

Answer 4

Mars can get up to 27 degrees but this is only is Summer around the equator for Mars is a very cold planet. At nightfall it can get way up to -90 degrees and even COLDER.

Answer 5

Mars can be around -30 to -40 C (-20 to -40 F) during daytime and it is capable of reaching -100 C (-150 F) during nightime! So mars is really not that hot!

Answer 6

Its cold , so cold that us humans could not live there but some belive there is life on Mars

Answer 7

It can get as hot as 27°C on Mars, though this is only near the equator during warmest time of the year.
