Q: Would the maximum temperature of the ground (near the surface) on mars be lower or higher than the maximum temperature of the atmosphere?

I would guess that it would be lower. Assuming high temperature fluctuations, the amount of time it takes for the ground to "warm" up is too long. Does anyone for for sure?
