Mars and Venus have different surface temperatures due to variations in their atmospheres and their distance from the Sun. While both planets have atmospheres that contain carbon dioxide, Venus has a much denser atmosphere than Mars. The thick atmosphere of Venus traps heat from the Sun, leading to a runaway greenhouse effect and extremely high temperatures on its surface. In contrast, Mars has a much thinner atmosphere, which cannot effectively trap heat, resulting in much colder temperatures.
