The lowest temperature ever recorded on Mars was -191 degrees Fahrenheit. The highest was -24 degrees.
The average temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 62 degrees Celsius). However, temperatures can drop as low as minus 195 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 125 degrees Celsius) during the winter at the poles.
Temperatures during the Martian winter may dip as low as -140°C (-220°F) at the poles. The usual surface temperature averages about -5° to -87° (23°F to -125°F), and "warmer" in the summer and at the Martian equator.
In winter, near the poles temperatures can get down to minus 195 degree F.
The temperature on Mars can range from -255°F/-153°C to 70°F/20°C, depending on the specific location, time, and season. For example, in mid-latitude locations, the average temperature of the surface is around -58°F/-50°C.
As of 2014, the coldest temperature recorded on Mars was -123 Celsius. This was recorded at the poles of Mars.
The average high temperature on Mars is around -5 degrees Celsius, while the average low temperature is around -80 degrees Celsius.
The average low temperature on Mars is around -80 degrees Fahrenheit (-62 degrees Celsius), but temperatures can drop even lower, reaching as low as -195 degrees Fahrenheit (-125 degrees Celsius) during cold nights.
The high temperature on Mars can reach around 70°F (20°C) near the equator during the day, while the low temperature can drop to around -195°F (-125°C) at the poles during the night.
Water on Mars is mostly frozen due to its low atmospheric pressure and low average temperatures. These conditions prevent water from existing as a liquid on the surface and instead result in it freezing into ice. Additionally, Mars' thin atmosphere cannot trap heat effectively, making it difficult for water to remain in liquid form.
Mars has a cold temperature because it is farther from the Sun compared to Earth, which results in less solar heat reaching the planet. Additionally, Mars has a thin atmosphere that is not able to retain heat well, leading to significant temperature fluctuations between day and night.
