Of the eight planets in our solar system (ignoring Pluto and other dwarf or minor planets), Mars is second smallest... only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about 53% of the diameter of Earth (about 15% of the volume), also about fifteen percent of its mass. Standing on its surface you'd feel a little under 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity.
