There is no particular reason: some planets have more mass than others.

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.


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.


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.
