Explanation:

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 3.7m/s2, we multiply the object's mass by this quantity 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.
