  2. Gravity of Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Mars

    Earth vs Mars vs Moon gravity at elevation. The gravity of Mars is a natural phenomenon, due to the law of gravity, or gravitation, by which all things with mass around the planet Mars are brought towards it. It is weaker than Earth's gravity due to the planet's smaller mass. The average gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.728 m/s 2 (about ...

  3. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    The object's weight is less on Mars, where gravity is weaker; more on Saturn, where gravity is stronger; and very small in space, far from significant sources of gravity, but it always has the same mass. Material objects at the surface of the Earth have weight despite such sometimes being difficult to measure.

    According to the IAU's explicit count, there are eight planets in the Solar System; four terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) and four giant planets, which can be divided further into two gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and two ice giants (Uranus and Neptune). When excluding the Sun, the four giant planets account for more than ...

  8. Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars

    Mars is less dense than Earth, having about 15% of Earth's volume and 11% of Earth's mass, resulting in about 38% of Earth's surface gravity. Mars is the only presently known example of a desert planet , a rocky planet with a surface akin to that of Earth's hot deserts.

  9. Mars carbonate catastrophe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_carbonate_catastrophe

    Mars' gravity is 62.5% less than Earth, that is 100 kg has a weight of about 980 Newtons on Earth would be about 367.5 Newtons on Mars. The low gravity is due to Mars' small size and also its lower density. Mars' mass is only 11% of Earth's mass. Mars' diameter is 4,213 miles (6,780 kilometres) and the diameter of Earth is 7,926 miles (12,756 ...
