Dear Wiki Questioner,
According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:
A=G(m/r^2)
Where A is the acceleration of an object due to gravity
G is the gravitational constant [about 6.67x 10^(-11)m^3kg^(-1)s^(-2)]
m is the mass of the planet [about 6.4x10^23 kg for Mars)
and r is the radius of the planet [about 3.4 x10^6 meters for Mars]
So for Mars, the Acceleration of an object near its surface due to gravity is approximately:
A=6.67x 10^(-11) x 6.4x 10^23 / (3.4x 10^6)^2 meters per second squared
Which comes out to about: 3.7 meters per second squared
Since the acceleration due to gravity of an object on earth's surface is about:
9.8 meters per second squared = one "g"
Mars' gravity is about 38% of earth's gravity or .38g
No. Gravity on Mars is about 38% of what it is on Earth.
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.
No. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that on Earth. So Mars has about 62 percent less gravity.
The surface gravity on Mars is about 37% or 3/8 that on Earth.
Mars has 38% approximative gravity to that of Earth, meaning Earth has almost three times as much. While the moon has 16.7% that of the Earth. Meaning Mars has a stronger gravitational pull then that of the moon.
The moon has less mass than does Mars and therefore has less gravity at its surface.
The force of gravity on Mars is equal to 3.7m/s2. Mars's force of gravity is therefore 37.8% that of Earth's.
Mars has less gravity.
No. Gravity on Mars is about 38% of what it is on Earth.
No. Surface gravity on Mars is 37.6% (about 3/8) what it is on Earth.
The gravity of Earth is 2.6 times that of Mars.Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's gravity.
Mars has weaker gravity than Earth. The gravity on Mars is about 38% of the gravity on Earth. This means that objects on Mars weigh less than they would on Earth.
Surface gravity on mars is 0.376 compared to that of the earth.
Surface gravity (Earth=1) Mars: 0.38
Mars's gravity is 38% of Earth's.
Martian gravity is only 38% of the Earth's gravity.
No. The gravity on Mars is about 38% that on Earth. So Mars has about 62 percent less gravity.
