- Atmosphere of Mars - WikipediaThe average surface emission temperature of Mars is just 215 K (−58 °C; −73 °F), which is comparable to inland Antarctica.
- Martian Climate – Center for Planetary SciencesMartian surface temperatures vary from lows of about −143 °C (−225 °F) (at the winter polar caps) to highs of up to 35 °C (95 °F) (in equatorial summer). The wide range in temperatures is due to the thin atmosphere which cannot store much solar heat, the low atmospheric pressure, and the low thermal inertia of Martian soil.
- Geological evidence for multiple climate transitions on Early Mars - NatureAbstract. Landforms and deposits observed on the Martian surface suggest that Mars’ early climate supported rivers and lakes over a time span of more than a billion years. But, like Earth,...
- Mars - Atmosphere, Climate, Dust Storms | BritannicaIn summer above a very dark surface, daytime temperatures can peak at about 290 K (62 °F, 17 °C). Above the turbulent layer close to the surface, temperature decreases with elevation at a rate of about 1.5 K (2.7 °F, 1.5 °C) per km (about 2.4 K [4.3 °F, 2.4 °C] per mile) of altitude.
