The sun is in average 227936637 km away from Mars. The Sunlight arrives after 13 minutes on Mars with a power of 589 W/m2.

The Martian atmosphere does not filter der sunlight enough, leaving to much UV ray and high energy particles to reach the surface. Life is considered not possible without additional shielding.
