Mars:

The temperature is typically about 210 Kelvin (-63 oC or -81 oF). However, the equatorial regions of Mars may occasionally reach temperatures of up to 10-20 oC (50-68 oF), while during the long polar nights the temperature falls to around -120 oC (-184 oF). Suffice it to say, it gets cold.

The mean temperature is −46 °C (-51 °F).

Mars is never what we would call "hot."

It is too far from the Sun, about 1.5 times as far as Earth (on average 142 million miles / 228 million kilometers).

In the winter, Mars can get as cold as 191 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (minus 125°C). In the summer, planetary averages are still below freezing. Just like the Earth, as Mars orbits the Sun, the seasons change. But all the seasons on Mars are cold!

EARTH:

The average temperature on Earth is about 13oC. Highest recorded has been 56.7oC and lowest -89oC. These temperatures are dry bulb temperatures.

Most of the Earth is subject to heating and cooling by the oceans and the atmosphere. Except for extreme locations on Earth (deserts, poles), the temperature range is compatible with human activities, falling in the range between -40° and +40° C (-40° to 104°F).

Temperatures tend to be hotter near the equator, or when it is summer at a given location. Ocean and air currents also affect the range of temperatures. Climate change scientists estimate that ever-increasing levels of man made carbon dioxide could raise global temperatures by up to 6 degrees C over the next 50 years.

So, Earth has the higher temperature.
