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.

∙ 12y agoYes, it's less massive. A 100lb person would weigh 70-75 pounds.
Wiki User
∙ 8y agoNo. Earth has a stronger gravity than Mars because Earth is more massive. No. The surface gravity on Mars a little more than a third that on Earth.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoComparing the gravity of Mars compared to Earth's, Mars having a much smaller mass than Earth, Mars has a much weaker Gravity.

Wiki User
∙ 10y agoNo. Becase Mars is smaller and less dense than Earth it has less mass and therefore less gravity.

Is Mars gravity stronger or weaker than Earth's moon?
Since Mars is much larger than the Moon and made of similar materials its gravity must be stronger.
Is earth or Mars lighter?
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.

Why would you weigh less on Mars than on Earth?
On Mars, you weigh 37.7% as much as you would on Earth. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 37.7 pounds on Mars. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you weigh only 56.6 pounds. The equation is .37 x Earth weight = Martian weight.
What planet has evidence of erosion by water?
Earth and Mars
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
Does mars have a stronger weaker gravity than earth?
Mars has a much weaker gravity than Earth.
Is mars stronger than erthe or weaker?
Mars is 5,000 times weaker than Earth.
Does mars have a stronger or weaker gravity pull then earth?
no
Do mars has a stronger gravity or weaker gravity than earth?
Weaker as it is smaller.
Is Mars' gravity stronger or weaker than earth's?
Mars has a weaker gravity than earth because it is a smaller planet and is smaller than
Is Mars a stronger or weaker planet?
Mars is a stronger planet not a weaker planet
Does mars have a stronger or weaker gravity on earth?
An object on the surface of Mars weighs about 37% of its weight on the surface of earth.
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.
Is mars weaker or stronger then the gravity on earth?
less garbage fan man that you poo
Does mars have stronger or weaker gravity?
Than what?The surface gravity of Mars is lower than that of Earth, but higher than that of the Moon, if that helps.
Does Venus have stronger gravity?
Stronger gravity than what? The gravity of Venus is stronger than that of the moon or of Mars, but weaker than that of Earth.
Is mars a stonger or weaker?
Stronger
