Best Answer

The gravitational force between two masses depends on the product of their

masses and the distance between their centers.

The gravitational acceleration on a planet depends on the planet's mass and the

distance of its surface from its center. So if two planets have different masses or

different sizes, then you'd naturally expect their gravitational accelerations to be

different.

No two planets or moons in the solar system have the same mass or the same

size, so no two of them have the same gravitational acceleration.

Compared to Earth, it's 62% less on Mars, 83% less on the Moon, 10% less on Venus,

and 164% more on Jupiter.

Why is the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars is about one third the acceleration due to gravity on earths surface?

Because the acceleration of gravity on the surface of any given body depends on the mass of the body and its radius ... the distance of the surface from the center. Mars' mass ... about 11% of Earth's ... and Mars' radius ... about 53% of Earth's ... combine to produce about 38% of Earth's gravitational acceleration at the surface of Mars.


Is the acceleration of gravity on mars is greater than the acceleration of gravity on earth?

No. It's about 3.80 m/s/s as opposed to 9.81 on earth.


Is Mars Earth?

No, Earth and Mars are two different planets.


How are earth and Mars are alike and different?

earth and mars are like and different because they have a atmosphere and gravity


How does the force due to gravity on Mars compare to the force due to gravity on Earth?

The acceleration of gravity at the surface of Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s2. Earth's acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 on average. The force that gravity would exert on an object is dependent on its mass.


How are the weather condions on Mars different from Earth?

Mars is farther than earth. Mars is colder.


Would the acceleration due to gravity on mars be bigger or smaller than on earth and why?

Smaller, because Mars is less massive and less dense than Earth.


Does mars has a stroger or weaker gravity then earth?

The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars, and therefore the weightof any object placed there, is 37.95% of its value on the Earth's surface.


How is earth and Mars alike List 4 ways?

Earth and mars are totally different. Earth is green and blue. Mars is red & brown. WE live on earth and martitans live on Mars. Mars is not cool but earth is. Earth has living things mars doesnt.!!!!


How much gravity on planet Mars?

On Mars, there is low gravity, so there you could jump twice as high as you can on Earth. The acceleration due to gravity on mars is 3.71 m/s2, which is 0.379 times that of Earth. (The gravity on Earth is 2.64 times greater than the gravity on Mars.)


What is free fall acceleration on Mars?

gmars=3.711ms-2 or 0.376gearth So about a third or Earth's


How is a planetary day on Mars different from one on Earth?

Mars spins slower than earth
