Owing to the larger distance from the Sun, Mars receives less solar energy and has a lower effective temperature (about 210 K).[1] The average surface emission temperature of Mars is just 215 K (−58 °C/−73 °F), which is comparable to inland Antarctica.[1][2] The weaker greenhouse effect in the Martian atmosphere (5 °C, versus 33 °C on Earth) can be explained by the low abundance of other greenhouse gases.[1][3] The daily range of temperature in the lower atmosphere is huge (can range from -75 Celsius to near 0 Celsius near the surface in some regions) due to the low thermal inertia.[1][3][7] The temperature of the upper part of the Martian atmosphere is also significantly lower than Earth's because of the absence of stratospheric ozone and the radiative cooling effect of carbon dioxide at higher altitudes.[3]
