4. The climate on mars
Because of its greater distance from the Sun , Mars receives
much less solar energy than Earth . In addition, the
greenhouse at its surface is less important. Its annual
average temperature is -53 ° C (+14 ° C for the Earth). It can
range from about -125 ° C to +23 ° C. The planet is also
known to daily temperature variations that can be
explained by the absence of oceans and the thinness of the
atmosphere. On Mars, the vertical variation of temperature
is very important : a man could feel a difference in
temperature of twenty degrees between his head and his
feet.
A peculiarity of the atmosphere of Mars is its exchange
with the polar caps. These caps are made of glass , but
overlap in winter with a layer of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) .
