What is the gravitational pull for Mars?

 
+8

Answer by  Binome (1975)

Mars has a volume equal to 1. 6318 × 1011 km³ or approximately 0. 151 Earths. Its mass is 6. 4185 × 1023 kg which is approximately 0. 107 Earths. Thus, this means the equatorial surface gravity on Mars is 3. 69 m/s². This is 0. 376 times that of Earth. This makes escape velocity 5. 027 km/s.

The acceleration due to gravity on Mars is around 3. 8 m/s^2. Compare that value to the acceleration due to gravity on Earth, which is around 9. 8 m/s^2. This means that a person who weighs about 100 lbs on Earth will only weigh about 39 lbs on Mars.
