    It varies based on factors like our mass, the planet's gravity, and the di ance between you and the planet's center. If you weighed 100 lbs on Earth, you would weigh only 38 lbs on Mars! GRAVITY On Mars, you'd experience 62.5% less gravity than you're used to on Earth. Created Date. 1/13/2016 9:27:01 AM.

  3. Local Variations in the Gravitational Pull of Mars

    This map shows local variations in Mars' gravitational pull on orbiters, presenting unprecedented detail based on several years of data from tracking three of NASA's Mars orbiters.

  4. Mars: A Time Of Discovery - NASA Mars Exploration

    mars.nasa.gov/files/mepjpl/Earth_Mars_Poster_back.pdf

    These missions have shown us that Mars’ solid surface is much like that of Earth. Mars missions will launch about every two years, to gain a better understanding of Mars’ geologic history and search for evidence of past or present life.

    Earth™s Moon. Mars™mass is 1/10th that of Earth, and its gravity is 38 percent as strong as Earth™s. Mars has an elliptical orbit; its distance from the Sun ranges from 206.7 million kilometers (128.4 million miles) to 249.2 million kilometers (154.8 million miles), with an average distance of 227.7 million kilometers (141.5 million miles ...

    Earth’s day of 24 hours. One Mars year equals 687 Earth days, or 1.88 Earth years. How old would you be on Mars? 12 years old on Earth / 1.88 = 6.4 years old on Mars Gravity The gravity on Mars is approxi­ mately 1/3 that of Earth. That would allow a person on Mars to dunk a basketball in a basket 3 times higher than one on Earth! MarsMarsMars

    geological processes that occur on Mars are similar to those that occur on Earth. Comparative planetology, especially between Earth and Mars, is widely used by scientists currently researching Mars. As you work through this activity, think about what you know about Earth to help you better understand the processes on Mars.
