What is Mar's length of orbit in earth days?

Answer 1

Mars' orbital period is 686.971 (Earth) days or 1.8808 Julian years.

The period of Mars' sidereal rotation (the time it takes for a star other than the sun to go from due south on one Martian day to due south on the next) is 24.6229 hours or 24 hours, 37 minutes, 22.66 seconds. The Martian solar day (average noon to noon on Mars) is 24 hours 39 minutes, 35.244 seconds.

This means that a Martian year is 668.5991 Martian solar days.

Answer 2

The Earth orbits the Sun in 365 and a quarter days.

More Details:

To be more precise, there are two ways to measure the length of time the Earth takes to go around the Sun, these two are called the Sidereal orbit period (days) 365.256 and the Tropical orbit period (days) 365.242.

Fortunately, these are very nearly equal. They are different because the sidereal orbit period measures the time it takes Earth to make a complete trip around the Sun using the distant fixed stars as a reference.

The tropical orbit period ignores the fixed stars and just measures how long it takes for the Sun to return to the same location in the sky, i.e. the time between the annual solstice or equinox.

The tropical year is about 20 minutes shorter than the time it takes Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun as measured with respect to the fixed stars (the sidereal year).

Answer 3

The sun doesn't hit Mars; but the heat, light, and other radiation from it does.

Mars' average distance from the sun is 141.6 million miles (227.9 million km).

To cover that distance, it takes the sun's heat and light 760 seconds (12.7 minutes). (rounded)

Answer 4

About 24 hours 39 minutes. The scientists who have been running the Mars Rovers Spirit and Opportunity call this a "sol". No! It's 24 hours 37 minutes.

It's the Martian solar day they call a "sol". That's about 2 minutes longer than the rotation period. On Earth this difference is about

4 minutes. The solar day (technically the "mean solar day") is exactly

24 hours on Earth.

The correct answer for the rotation time is about 24 hours 37 minutes and 23seconds.

Answer 5

The earth takes 365.25 days to orbit around the sun. The .25 is the reason we have leap years every four years to keep our calendar in line with our orbit around the sun.

Answer 6

It takes Mars about 687 Earth days to have a full year, compared to the Earth's 365 days in a year.

A year on Mars is 1.88 Earth years.

Answer 7

Mars completes one revolution in its orbit around the sun in 687 earth days (1.88 earth years).

Answer 8

About 2 years.

About 2 years.

About 2 years.

Answer 9

It takes the moon 27.32 days to complete one orbit around the earth. It moves at 1.03 Km/s and on average is 384,400 Km away from earth

Answer 10

1.8808476 years.
