Would terminal velocity on Mars be the same as on earth and take longer to reach, or be lower on Mars?

Cheers fellas.

It's much higher on Mars. The atmospheric density being 1% that of Earth more than offsets the lower gravity. This is why spacecraft can't land on Mars with parachutes alone, and need either rockets for final touchdown, or shock-absorbing airbags to handle a fairly fast impact.
