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 average surface emission temperature of Mars is just 215 K (−58 °C; −73 °F), which is comparable to inland Antarctica. [ 2 ] [ 4 ] Although Mars' atmosphere consists primarily of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse effect in the Martian atmosphere is much weaker than Earth's: 5 °C (9.0 °F) on Mars, versus 33 °C (59 °F) on Earth due to ...
Mars climate simulation models date as far back as the Viking missions to Mars. Most Mars climate simulation models were written by individual researchers that were never reused or open-sourced. By the 1990s the need for a unified model codebase came into being, due to the general impact of the internet on climate modelling and research. This ...

Mars is covered in dry iron oxide dust, has seasonal global dust storms, with a duration of about a month. Mars' average global temperature is −81 °F (−63 °C; 210 K), Earth's average global temperature is 57 °F (14 °C; 287 K). The seasonal Martian polar ice caps are mostly dry ice, frozen carbon dioxide atmosphere (CO 2). [23]
Mars may be around 140 million miles away from Earth, but the red planet is influencing our oceans, according to new research. Mars could be driving ‘giant whirlpools’ in the Earth’s deep ...
