A bit more than that. The surface gravity on Mars is closer to 3/8 the gravity on Earth.

What is earths gravitational force compared to mars?

Earths gravitational force compared to mars is greater than mars. That means that objects are easily pulled into earth, whereas it is harder to pull objects into mars, because the gravitational pull is less than earth. With that, satellites on earth could easily fly out of orbit while they are orbiting mars because they have more inertia. With that, the gravitational pull isn't strong enough to overcome the inertia.

When spacecraft goes on moon how it revolves after leaving earths gravitational pull?

ahhh now.... When a spacecraft leaves earths atmoshere it does not leave earths gravitational pull! the moon itself is in earths gravitational pull. which is what stops the moon from floating away so as far as i can imagine if you put a space craft on the moon you have not left earths gravitational pull or the E.G.P
