well, the gravity is weak so it means that we cant go there! so no one will be able to visit Mars unless people figure out a way to go there despite the fact of the low gravity.
Generally speaking, the bigger or more massive a planet it, the more gravity it has, since gravity and mass are related. the small planets such as Mars and Mercury have a weaker gravity, while the larger planets have a strong gravitational field.
The planet Mars is slightly smaller than the Earth and therefore has a weaker gravitational field. Gravity is what holds an atmosphere in place. In a weak gravitational field, an atmosphere will gradually leak away into outer space. That's what happened on Mars.
Mars is a lot less massive than Earth. Therefore gravity is less than you would experience on Earth. Gravity on Mars is about 38% that of what you experience on Earth. Therefore is you weigh 100kg on Earth, you would only weigh 38kg on Mars.
There is, of course the practical answer regarding compasses functioning due to magnetic poles. Much more importantly, however, is the fact that Earth's magnetism creates a magnetic field around our planet which deflects solar winds which would otherwise cause great harm to our planet (think of Mars' surface, and how Mars has a weak ionosphere instead of a true magnetosphere).
Yes. Asteroids have some gravity, but it is very weak because of their low mass in comparison to an actual planet.
Venus. Similar to Earth in many ways, a runaway greenhouse effect is thought responsible for its 900°F (480°C) surface temperature.

Their gravity is too weak to hold on to atmospheric gases.
Big planets has a strong gravity. In small planets it's opposite
there is no effect of gravity on atomic forces because gravity is very very weak than the atomic forces(Gravitational Force = 10-38 Atomic forces, Weak=10-13 Strong=1).

Because of Earth's size, and considering it as one of the smallest planets, it has a weak gravity compared to the OTHER planets. Most planets have greater gravity because of their size. Earth has a stronger gravity compared to mars, mercury, and venus.
EarthVenusMarsThe greenhouse effect occurs on every planet with an atmosphere (including Earth). On Venus, there is a runaway greenhouse effect causing temperatures high enough to melt lead.Mars has a greenhouse effect that is weak because of its thin atmosphere.

Yes, gravity does act on the Mars Rovers. On Mars, the gravity on the surface is 39% as strong as it is on Earth. This is also about the same amount on Mercury. A man weighing 200 pounds on Earth (or 440 kg) would weigh 78 pounds on Mars (171.6 kg). The six wheels the rovers have push the rovers around, they just don't have to work as hard to overcome the weak Martian gravity.
They floated in the AIR even though there wasn't any...
