Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and is situated at the edge of the habitable zone in the solar system.
The surface temperature of Mars varies depending on time and location. For example, the temperature of the equator at midday can be as high as 20 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, the temperature at the poles can be as low as -153 degrees Celsius.
Mars' orbit can also influence its temperature. When Mars orbits closer to the sun, it can be as much as 20 degrees warmer.
Overall, Mars is much colder than Earth for two reasons: 1) Mars is farther from the sun, 2) Mars has a thin atmosphere which prevents it from retaining heat.
The average surface temperature on Mars is - 55 degrees Celsius.
