Mars masses

dimension	mass

This unit represents the mass of Mars.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.

The planet is strangely small compared to Earth. It could be because of the influence of a Jupiter in the making.

Mars has a special place in popular culture. It was thought to be inhabited by intelligent Martians constructing irrigation networks and channels. Pictures of the surface taken by probes unfortunately debunked these beliefs.

Value

The mass of Mars is 6.4171×10²³ kilograms.

Note: The values used in this converter are borrowed from the Planetary Fact Sheets.

Some Facts

Mars is only approximately 0.1 Earth masses and therfore has a smaller gravity. But strangely enough, Mars' gravity is very similar to Mercury's gravity (roughly 3.7 m/s² for both planets) while it is almost twice its mass.

The International Mass and Length Units

The International Mass and Length Units are units based on the international yard and the international pound.

They were created in 1959 when Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States of America agreed upon a common definition of the yard and the pound.
