The gravity on Mars is less than on Earth, so although the mass of the buggy is the same on Earth and Mars, its weight is different because weight is equal to mass multiplied by the gravitational force. The gravity of Mars is 38 percent less than that of the Earth's. So, something that weighs 100 pound on Earth will weigh 38 pounds on Mars.

Why was the weight of the buggy less on Mars than on Earth?
The gravity on Mars is considerably less than it is on Earth, so while the buggy still has the same physical mass, its relative weigh it considerably less.
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.
How much does a person weigh on Mars?
A man on Mars would weigh 38% of his weight on the Earth. This means that to find out a man's weight on Mars, you have to multiply their weight by 0.38. example: 100 pound man on the Earth weighs 100 X 0.38 = 38 pounds on Mars
Does mars have 62 times less gravity than earth?
No. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that on Earth. So Mars has about 62 percent less gravity.
Why would you way less on mars than on earth?
Mars is a smaller planet so the gravity is lower so you would have less pull on your mass so you would weigh less. weight is the measure of gravitational pull on an object.
Why was the weight of the buggy less on Mars than on Earth?
The gravity on Mars is considerably less than it is on Earth, so while the buggy still has the same physical mass, its relative weigh it considerably less.
How much would a person weigh on mars planet compared to on earth?
About 2 times less, so if you weigh 50 pounds on Earth, you would weigh about 18(mars is a bit less massive than half the size of earth) on Mars.
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.
Is there gravity on Mars less earth?
Yes. The effects of gravety on Mars are less than on Earth. Mars has 37.6% of Earth's gravity.
Why if a man weight 180 pounds on Earth he would weight 63 on Mars?
A person's weight on Mars would be 38% less than his weight on the Earth. This is because Mars's gravity is 38% weaker than that of the Earth, so Mars pulls on the person with less force, resulting in lower weight of the person. Edit: 38% of 180 is 68.4. So that doesn't exactly fit the question. However I agree with the "38%" value, so perhaps the question meant "68" not "63".
Do you weight more or less on mars?
less
Which planet has less gravity earth or mars?
Mars has less gravity.
Do you write more or less when you are on Mars?
you weight less on mars like the moon
Why would you weigh 57 pounds on Mars if you weigh 150 on Earth?
Your weight depends on the gravity, and Mars, being a smaller/lighter planet has less gravitational pull than the earth.

Why does Mercury and Mars have less gravity than Earth?
Why does Mercury and Mars have less gravity than Earth because they both have less mass than does the Earth.
Does mars have 62 times less gravity than earth?
No. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that on Earth. So Mars has about 62 percent less gravity.
