The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mars is 3.7 m/sec2 (12.1 ft/sec2).

That's about 38% of the acceleration of gravity on the surface of earth.

So for every 100 newtons (or 100 pounds) that something weighs on earth,

it would weigh about 38 newtons (or 38 pounds) on Mars.

What gravitational force does Mars have?

Mars has a gravitational force of 3.7m/s2.


Why is there a belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter?

The belt of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter exists due to the gravitational forces of Jupiter preventing the formation of a planet in that region.


Is mars gravity bigger or lower than earth?

If you could do the measurements at the same distance from both planets, you'd find that the gravitational forces between you and Mars would only be about 11 percent as strong as the forces between you and the Earth.


How is Mars affected by gravity?

The mutual forces of gravitational attraction between Mars and the sun are what keeps Mars in orbit around the sun, just like Earth and every other permanent member of the solar system.


How do Mars' moons stay in their orbits around Mars?

Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, stay in their orbits around Mars due to a combination of Mars' gravitational pull and their initial velocity when they were captured by Mars' gravity. The gravitational force from Mars keeps them in orbit, preventing them from flying off into space.


When was Gravitational Forces created?

Gravitational Forces was created on 2001-08-07.


Does Mars have a gravitational force?

yesThe gravity on mars is not as strong as it is on earth.


What is the gravitational acceleration of mars?

The average gravitational acceleration on Mars is approximately 3.7 m/s^2, which is about 0.38 times the gravitational acceleration on Earth. This means objects on Mars weigh less compared to on Earth due to the weaker gravitational pull.


What is mars' gravitational pull compared to earth?

Mars' gravitational pull is 3.7m/s^2(3.7 meters per second squared) as opposed to Earth's gravitational pull which is 9.81m/s^2(9.81 meters per second squared). The closest you can get to mars is in 2050 with 56 millon killometers


How does a sattillite stay in orbit above mars?

because of mars's gravitational pull


What if there will be no Mars?

The gravitational pull of Mars helps keep the Earth in it's orbit.


Which moon does Mars exert a stronger gravitational force on Deimos or Phobos?

Mars exerts a stronger gravitational force on Phobos than Deimos because Phobos is larger and closer to Mars than Deimos. This closer proximity results in a stronger gravitational pull between Mars and Phobos.
