The acceleration of an object under the force of gravity alone is*:

a = GM/R^2

a = acceleration

G = gravitational constant (G = 6.674E-13 Nm^2/kg^2)

M = mass of the object/planet

R = distance from the center of the object/planet

At the equator, an object dropped near the surface of Earth falls with an acceleration of 9.78 meters per square second.

At the equator on Mars, and object dropped at the surface will fall with an acceleration of 3.71 meters per square second.

Therefore Mars has about 38% of the Earth's gravity.

*This equation is only true for spherically-distributed masses

How are the earths and Mars gravity similar?

They're not. * Earth has a gravity of 9.780327 m/s2 * Mars has a gravity of 3.69 m/s² They're similar in that they both obey the Law of Universal Gravitation, but as you can see the gravity of Mars is only about a third that of Earth.
