Do you mean that, or have you written it wrong?
The force of gravity on Mars is approximately 38% of the force on Earth. This means that objects will weigh less on Mars than they do on Earth.
The gravitational constant on Mars is 3.711 m/s², which is significantly lower than the gravitational constant on Earth (9.807 m/s²).
The mass of a planet directly affects its gravitational pull. Mars has a much smaller mass than Earth, which results in a weaker gravitational pull.
Yes, there is a difference in gravitational acceleration on Mars and Earth. The gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.711 m/s², while on Earth it is 9.807 m/s². This means that objects will fall faster on Earth than on Mars.
The distance between Mars and the Sun does not affect its gravity. The gravitational force between two objects is only affected by their masses and the distance between them. However, the distance between Mars and the Sun does affect its orbital speed, which in turn affects the strength of its gravitational pull on other objects.
