I looked at this picture where the Martian Rover was taking a picture of the Martian sunset. It looks cold there,and the sun is so small.

Explanation:
What would it be like to see a sunset on Mars? To help find out, the robotic rover Spirit was deployed in 2005 to park and watch the Sun dip serenely below the distant lip of Gusev crater.
Colors in the above image have been slightly exaggerated but would likely be apparent to a human explorer's eye.
Fine martian dust particles suspended in the thin atmosphere lend the sky a reddish color, but the dust also scatters blue light in the forward direction, creating a bluish sky glow near the setting.
