How does Mars temperature compare to Earth's temperature?
Mars is, on the whole, far colder than the Earth, for a couple of reasons. First off, it's farther from the Sun. Secondly, and probably most importantly, Mars has no atmosphere to speak of. The lack of an atmospheric "blanket" means that Mars is unable to retain any heat energy that does get to it from the Sun.
Why is a magnifying glass so hot under the sun?
Much of the area under a magnifying glass will be far colder than the area not covered by it. Only a small point or area will be hot, and much hotter at that. This is because the light striking the glass is refracted and focused toward a point of convergence. The result is that our small place gets much hotter - as it receives all of the light concentrated - and the rest gets colder - because it isn't receiving any direct light.

Which would be a better colony Mars or Ganymede?
Although it would depend on your objective, Mars would generally be more suitable. Ganymede has far less gravity, far more ambient radiation (almost 8 rems a day), and is far colder.
