If there were no gravity the sun would not have condensed from a gaseous nebula and Mars would not have coalesced from the dust cloud that formed around the early sun.
Gravity holds the sun and Mars together in orbits around their combined centre of mass. If there were no gravity then Mars would fly off into space.

What keeps mars in orbit around the sun?
The Sun's gravity combined with the tangential ("sideways") velocity of Mars.
Why does mars and its moon stay in orbit around the sun?
I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation!!
How many planets orbit around Mars?
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
Why does Mars orbit?
Mars, just like every other planet in the solar system, orbits because of the gravity from the sun. The sun is "pulling" on the planets which causes them to orbit around it.
What suggests that Phobos and Deimos were captured by mars gravity?
The simple fact that they orbit Mars, suggests that they were captured by Mars' gravity.
Does Mars Orbit Around the Earth?
No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.
How would the gravity of mars affect the landing of a spacecraft?
Does mars' gravity affect other objects. yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon.
Why doesn't Mars orbit Jupiter?
Mars is too far from Jupiter to be significantly affected by its gravity.
What is a sentence for weightlessness?
The weightless astronaut landed on Mars, which has no gravity.
Why does earth orbit around the sun in its path?
The Sun's gravity pulls on: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Gravity is a force that pulls the planets or a force to push. Gravity is on the Earth, gravity is floated in space. So the Sun's gravity keeps the planets to orbit the Sun.
Does Mars' gravity affect other objects?
yes it does but the gravity is 38% of the earths gravity and if doesn't affect objects then it will have no moon
How is Mars affected by gravity?
The mutual forces of gravitational attraction between Mars and the sun are what keeps Mars in orbit around the sun, just like Earth and every other permanent member of the solar system.
