Question

he mass of Mars is 6.39 × 1023 𝑘𝑔 and has a radius of 3.39 × 106 𝑚 compared to the mass of the Earth, which is, 5.97 × 1024 𝑘𝑔 and a radius of 6.371 × 106 𝑚. The gravitational acceleration on the surface of the Earth is 10 𝑚 𝑠2 and the surface of Mars is 3.7 𝑚 𝑠2. Why is the gravitational acceleration less on Mars than Earth
