 From Gerald Vanderleun: two worlds, one sun: 
 
 The sun appears a bit smaller on Mars, because it is 50% further away. That means it receives just 25% of the energy, and since it has much less atmosphere, it retains a lot less of it. I can't stop looking at the top picture; it is so weird to realize that really exists, it isn't just a scene from a movie... |     |
