Can you walk on mars gravity.
The surface gravity on mars is about 38 the gravity on earth.
Roughly 3 7 m s 2 this means that if you threw a ball into the air on mars it would fall back down much more slowly than.
The surface gravity of mars can therefore be expressed mathematically as.
On earth the body uses gravity to fall forwards at each step and then.

It will be like a clumsy version of what we do here on.
It s a blast to bounce around in 3 8 gravity experience a martian sunrise.
This is because mars is smaller about half the size of earth but also lighter than earth only about 11 of earth s mass.
Somewhere between zero and 1 gee is an amount we can live with long term and that number has a huge impact on a mars mission.
