No. The mass of any body will be the same where ever it is. It's weight, however, depends on the location.
Contrary to everyday use of the word, in physics, weight is actually the downward force caused by a gravity field and measured in newtons. It is expressed by the formula F=ma where m is the mass of the body and a is the gravitational acceleration.
On Earth, a=9.81 m/s2 and on Mars a=3.71 m/s2. The difference is about 2.6 times. So on Earth, a person with a mass of, say, 80kg weighs about 785N and on Mars, about 297N. The latter number in Earth gravity corresponds to a mass of about 30 kg.
Without all the math:
Your mass remains the same but your weight will change. On Mars, you feel about 2.6 times lighter.

Are Earth and Mars the same mass?
No. Mars is a little more than a tenth the mass of Earth.
Does the earth have more mass than mars?
Yes. Earth is about 6.5 times larger than Mars and has more mass.
What is the mass of Mars in terms of Earth's mass?
The mass of mars is about 0.107 Earth masses.
Why does the sun exert more gravitational force on mars than on earth does?
The sun has more mass than earth.
What connection between the mass of a planet and the number of moons it has?
There is no direct connection between the mass of a planet and the number of moons it has. Mars is less massive than Earth but has twice as many moons as does Earth. Jupiter is more massive than either Mars of Earth and has many more moons that either of them.
Are Earth and Mars the same mass?
No. Mars is a little more than a tenth the mass of Earth.
Does the earth have more mass than mars?
Yes. Earth is about 6.5 times larger than Mars and has more mass.
What is the mass of Mars in terms of Earth's mass?
The mass of mars is about 0.107 Earth masses.
What fraction of Mar's mass is equal to Earth's mass?
Mars would have to find more mass if it wanted to equal the Earth's. It has only 11% of Earth's mass.
Do mars and earth have a similar mass?
No. Mars has about one tenth of Earth's mass. Venus, howevr, does have a similar mass to Earth.
Why does earth have more mass mars?
There is no particular reason: some planets have more mass than others.
Why does the sun exert more gravitational force on mars than on earth does?
The sun has more mass than earth.
If you weight 300 Newtons on earth then what is your mass and weight in mars?
You need to:1) Divide the weight by Earth's gravity, to get the mass. 2) Remember that the mass will be the same on Mars. 3) Multiply the mass by the gravity of Mars, to get the weight on Mars.
What is Mars size compared with Earth?
one year on mars is equivalent to 780 earth days
How many mars would it take to equal the mass of earth?
Mars is 0.107 times the mass of earth. The reciprocal of that is the number of planets the mass of Mars it would take to equal a planet the mass of earth, or a little over 9 and 1/3.
Does earth have stronger or weaker gravity than mars?
The gravitational force exerted at the surface (and above the surface) of Mars is weaker than that here on Earth. The reason: Mars has less mass than earth.
What size is earth compare to?
Mars has a diameter about 0.53 of the Earth's. Mars has a mass about 0.107 times the Earth's.
