The gravity on any planet is generally about the same wherever you go on any planet. However there are always differences depending on where you are. if you are standing on the top of a mountain then the gravitational force below you is big er then it would be if you were standing in a depression. the same rule applies on earth. the influence of body's such as moons and planets also have an effect on the gravity in any given place on a planet.

Is gravity on mars the same as on earth?

No. Gravity on Mars is about 38% of what it is on Earth.


Why is there less mass on mars than the earth?

Mars has less mass because it is a smaller planet that is made up of roughly similar matter.The mass is the same everywhere. It is the weight that could be different according the difference in gravity among the planets.


How is gravity about the same on Mars and Mercury?

This does seem odd. Mars, with a mass that is about twice the mass of Mercury, has about the same surface gravity. Mars' mass is about .107 the mass of earth, and the mass of Mercury is about .055 the mass of earth. The surface gravity on Mars is about .38 times the surface gravity of earth, and the surface gravity of Mercury is about .38 times the surface gravity of earth as well. The difference is that the mean density of Mercury is about 5.43 grams per cubic centimeter, and the mean density of Mars is about 3.93 grams per cubic centimeter. Mercury is quite a bit more dense, so if you stand on Mercury you are much closer to the center of gravity of the planet. Mercury has a tiny slightly bit more gravity than mercury though.


Will you be heavy on Mars or light?

You would weigh less on Mars compared to Earth due to Mars' lower gravity. The gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth, so a person weighing 100 pounds on Earth would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.


What stays the same everywhere mass or weight?

Mass does since it is the amount of matter in an object and it is the same everywhere. Weight is the amount of gravity force on the object, so it changes on a different planet.

Is the gravity on mars the same as on earth?

No. Surface gravity on Mars is 37.6% (about 3/8) what it is on Earth.


Does mars have smaller gravity than earth greater gravity than earth or the same gravity as earth?

Mars has approximately one third the surface gravity of the earth

Mars and Pluto have just about the same mass which planet has greater gravity and why?

Actually, the idea that Pluto had about the same mass as Mars is outdated. It is now known that Pluto has less than 2% the mass of Mars, and therefore has less gravity.


Is there gravity on Mars?

Yes, but it is much less than on Earth. If you weigh 150 pounds on Earth you would weigh just 56.5 pounds on Mars. The specifics of the gravity on Mars is tjat it is 62% lower to be more precise. That means that Martian gravity is 38% of Earth's.


Is gravity the same everywhere in the world?

Yes, gravity is the same everywhere on Earth in terms of acceleration, which is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. However, variations in gravity can occur due to factors like altitude, latitude, and local geology.

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.


Does the moon or Mars have less gravity?

The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
