Detailed explanation-1: -Those are temperatures so frigid that parts of Mars-a cold, desert planet-are actually warmer than certain spots in the U.S. But how does Mars’ climate compare to that of our home planet? Overall, Mars is cold-its average global temperature is around-80 degrees Fahrenheit-and has a much thinner atmosphere than Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Uranus holds the record for the coldest temperature ever measured in the Solar System: a very chilly-224℃.
Detailed explanation-3: -And for now, this is for the best. Over there, Antarctica’s winter temperatures would seem tropical by comparison, better suited for swimming gear than a fur-lined jacket. This is because polar Mars can drop to a bone-shattering-150°C (-238°F). To put that in perspective, your freezer is probably around-18°C (0°F).
Detailed explanation-4: -The atmosphere of Mars is mostly carbon dioxide, the surface of the planet is too cold to sustain human life, and the planet’s gravity is a mere 38% of Earth’s. Plus, the atmosphere on Mars is equivalent to about 1% of the Earth’s atmosphere at sea level. That makes getting to the surface tricky.
