Question: Is it true that because Mars has lower gravity than Earth,a person weighing 200 pounds on Earth would weigh 76 pounds on Mars?I found this on a website...
Mars’ gravity is about 2.5 times weaker than here on Earth.
So we take 200 pounds and divide it by 2.5! Which is 80 🙂
So yes, a person weighing 200 pounds would be about 75 pounds on Mars!
Great Question,
Ryan
Yes! Mars has lower gravity because it has less mass. It has about a third of the mass (and gravity) of Earth. This means we would weigh a third on Mars, we could jump 3 times higher and we could lift things more easily
