Mars is colder than Antarctica primarily due to its thin atmosphere, which is composed mostly of carbon dioxide and lacks the ability to retain heat. Despite Antarctica being the coldest continent on Earth, it has a thicker atmosphere that can trap some heat. Additionally, Mars is farther from the Sun, resulting in less solar energy reaching its surface. Its average temperature hovers around -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees Celsius), while Antarctica's varies but can be much warmer during certain seasons.
