It’s tricky, because the temperature is different depending where on Mars you are (just like on Earth!!)
Here’s a website: http://emma.la.asu.edu/daily.html and ttp://emma.la.asu.edu/t15daily.gif Based on this, the warmest air temperature on Mars was around -70 C (about -94 Fahrenheit) with an average air temp around -105 C (about -157 F!!!)

Lucy, KS | Did anyone see Mars?
I think Mars is red for a cople resons,most planets look red when you look at them in the night sky,and have you ever seen the moon and it looks red? thats because there is dust or clouds inbetween you and the moon.{I think thats a too long of a sentance!} Maybe there's dust or clouds inbetween you and Mars. Did any of you see Mars as close as it will get for like a millon years?

Jared, 6, MD| Mars Temperature?
Exactly WHAT is the temperature on Mars? EXACTLY?

DragonflyTV | Mars Temperature response
Well, I can't give an EXACT temperature because Mars doesn't have one. Just like Earth, Mars has a range of temperatures. Since the temperature varies, then we often report an average temperature. The average temperature on Mars is -63 degrees Centigrade, which is -81.4 degrees Fahrenheit. By comparison, the average temperature on Earth is 15 degrees Centigrade, or 59 degrees Fahrenheit.

Jared, 6, MD| Mars landscape
