Weight on Mars
0 KGs on Earth
=
NaN KG on Mars
To use this calculator, a user just enters any kind of weight the weight will automatically be computed and shown above. The weight must be entered in Kilograms and the resultant answer will also be in Kilograms. Thus, for example, if a user enters 69 KGs, the resultant answer of the weight in Mars would be 26.1018 KGs.
This calculates the weight on mars from the weight of the object on earth. Being that it takes the weight of an object on earth and converts it to Martian weight, the formula is Weight on Mars= (Weight on Earth/9.81m/s2) * 3.711m/s2. To find the Martian weight, we divide the weight on earth by the earth's force of gravity, which is 9.81m/s2. This calculates the mass of the object. Once we have the object's mass, we can find the weight by multiplying it by the gravitational force, which it is subject to. Being that Mars has a gravitational force of 3.711m/s2, we multiply the object's mass by this quanitity to calculate an object's weight on mars.
So an object or person on Mars would weigh 37.83% its weight on earth. Therefore, a person would be much lighter on mars. Conversely, a person is 62.17% heavier on earth than on Mars.
What causes the differences in weight between the various planets? The answer is the gravitational force which a planet is subject to. Earth has much more mass than Mars. Therefore, the sun pulls on it with greater force, because of the greater mass. You probably are familiar that gravity is a downward force. It pushes you back to the Earth's surface. This is why when you jump, you come back down. Being that the earth has greater gravitational force, it pulls object downward with greater force. This translates into greater weight.
