On average, the temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees F (minus 60 degrees Celsius) according to NASA. In winter, near the poles, temperatures can get down to minus 195 degrees F...
Differing in situ values have been reported for the average temperature on Mars, [23] with a common value being −63 °C (210 K; −81 °F). [24] [25] Surface temperatures may reach a high of about 20 °C (293 K; 68 °F) at noon, at the equator, and a low of about −153 °C (120 K; −243 °F) at the poles. [26]
The temperature on Mars can be as high as 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) or as low as about -225 degrees Fahrenheit (-153 degrees Celsius). And because the atmosphere is so thin, heat from the Sun easily escapes this planet.
The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer (MEDA) instrument onboard Perseverance records the surface and atmospheric temperature at Jezero crater, Mars. But how does the temperature of Mars differ from that of Earth?
Earth’s lowest recorded temperature was -128.6°F (-89.2°C) at Vostok Station, Antarctica, on July 21, 1983, according to the World Meteorological Organization. NASA missions have found lots of evidence that Mars was much wetter and warmer, with a thicker atmosphere, billions of years ago.
The temperature on Mars can vary greatly, from as high as 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) at midday around the equator during summertime to as low as minus 125 degrees Celsius (minus 193 degrees Fahrenheit) at the poles during nighttime in the winter season.
Near the equator, a summer day on Mars might reach 70 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius), with NASA recording the hottest temperature at a toasty 86 degrees Fahrenheit.
For starters, Mars experiences an average surface temperature of about -55 °C (-67 °F), with temperatures at the pole reaching as low as a frigid -153 °C (-243.4 °F).
On average, temperatures on Mars can range from -195°F (-125°C) at the poles to around 70°F (20°C) near the equator. The highest temperature ever recorded on Mars, in the shade, was 35...
Temperature readings were among the data collected. In the area Curiosity investigated, ground temperatures varied dramatically from day to night, with a high of just under 3 degrees Celsius (37 degrees Fahrenheit) to a low of minus 91 degrees Celsius (minus 131.8 degrees Fahrenheit).
