how cold is mars compared to earth
You probably know that Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun. Mars is about 142 million miles from the Sâ¦un (on average). In the winter, Mars can get as cold as 191 degrees below zero. In the summer, the temperature on Mars only reaches about 24 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 temperature on Mars is about -60c on average, but can get as low as -90c at the poles, and as high as 20c at the equator.
