There are two main reasons:

  1. Mars is further from the sun than earth, and therefore receives less heat (energy), and;
  2. Mars has a much thinner atmosphere than earth, so what little energy it receives is lost again on the night side

One reason is our proximity to the sun. We're closer than mars and therefore get more heat. Our atmosphere is also more dense than Mars' and able to contain the heat better.
