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 is the weight of a buggy less on Mars than on Earth?

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.


What is the weight of a moon buggy on the moon?

The weight of a moon buggy on the moon would be one-sixth of its weight on Earth. This is due to the moon's lower gravity compared to Earth, which exerts less downward force on objects.


Why would your weight change if you landed on Mars?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. So basically it is what is inside something. Weight depends on gravity such as landing on the moon, your mass is the same no matter what, but since gravity is a lot weaker, you weigh less! Old Answer: There is less gravity to pull you down.


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.


Why would you way less on mars than on earth?

You would weigh less on Mars than on Earth because Mars has less mass than Earth, so it exerts weaker gravitational force. This means that the pull of gravity on your body would be lower on Mars, leading to a decrease in your weight.

Pluto but if you dont count that as a planet then Mercury.

Why would you weigh 57 pounds on Mars if you weigh 150 on Earth?

Gravity on Mars is about 38% that of Earth's gravity, so your weight would be significantly less on Mars. The 57 pounds weight on Mars is a result of the difference in gravitational pull between Mars and Earth.

If you weight 100 pounds on Earth What would you weight on Mars?

Mars's gravitational pull is 38% that of Earth's, meaning you would weigh 38 pounds on that planet.


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".


Does mars have a stronger or weaker gravity on earth?

An object on the surface of Mars weighs about 37% of its weight on the surface of earth.


Why would you way less on mars than on earth?

You would weigh less on Mars than on Earth because Mars has less mass than Earth, so it exerts weaker gravitational force. This means that the pull of gravity on your body would be lower on Mars, leading to a decrease in your weight.


Why would you weigh the least on mars?

Mars is a smaller planet than Earth. Your weight is the product of two masses yours and the planets Your mass stays the same wherever you are, if you stand on a smaller planet, you weigh 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.
