Mars is much less massive that the Earth; its mass is about a tenth that of Earth, or abut 8.6 times as much as our Moon. Mars also has a lower average density than the Earth, partly because it it has more rock and less metal in comparison to the Earth, and partially because its weaker gravity has resulted in less compression of its interior.

Would a earthling feel heavier or lighter on the surface of mars?
As Mars is smaller than earth, and therefore has a lighter gravity, a person would feel lighter on Mars. In fact on Mars you would weigh half as much
What is Mars size compared with Earth?
one year on mars is equivalent to 780 earth days
Which planets are lighter than earth?
The planets that have less mass than Earth are Mercury, Mars and Venus. The planets that have a lower average density than Earth are all of them; Earth is the most dense planet in our solar system.
What planet has evidence of erosion by water?
Earth and Mars
Does mars have stronger grtavity than earth or weaker?
Because Mars is a lot less massive than the Earth. The surface gravity depends on the mass of the planet you are standing on, and since Mars is lighter the surface gravity there will be less than here on Earth.The gravitational force between two objects depends on their mass and the distance between their centers of mass. Mars has a smaller radius than the Earth (which would tend to increase the gravitational force), but it has a much smaller mass than the Earth (which tends to decrease the gravitational force). Combining the two factors, it works out that the surface gravity of Mars is about one-third that on Earth.

Why will humans feel lighter on mars?
Humans will feel lighter on Mars compared to Earth because Mars has less gravity. The gravity on Mars is about 38% of Earth's gravity, so a person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.
Compared to earth what is gravity like on mars?
Gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth. This means that objects on Mars weigh less and individuals would feel lighter compared to on Earth.
Why would you weigh 57 pounds on Mars if you weigh 150 on Earth?
Gravity on Mars is about 38% that of Earth's gravity, so your weight would be significantly less on Mars. The 57 pounds weight on Mars is a result of the difference in gravitational pull between Mars and Earth.
What is Mars size compared with Earth?
one year on mars is equivalent to 780 earth days
Why Would you feel lighter on mars?
Mercury has less mass than Earth does, and gravity varies in direct proportion to mass.
What is the Gravity in Mars?
The equatorial gravity on Mars is 3.69 m/s2 or 0.376g (37% that of Earth). If you weighed 100 lbs on Earth you would weigh 37.7 lbs on Mars
Can you stand on the surface of mars?
Yes, you could stand on the surface of Mars since it has gravity, but it is only about 38% of the gravity on Earth. This means you would feel lighter and could potentially jump higher compared to on Earth.
Is there a safe gravity on Mars'?
Yes. You can walk on Mars (wearing adequate protective clothing of course) without much trouble. You will be lighter there than on Earth, so you will be able to jump higher.
Which planets are lighter than earth?
The planets that have less mass than Earth are Mercury, Mars and Venus. The planets that have a lower average density than Earth are all of them; Earth is the most dense planet in our solar system.
What is that new lighter song called?
Lighter - Eminem ft. Bruno Mars
What planet has evidence of erosion by water?
Earth and Mars
