The orbit of Mars is about twice that of Earth's.

Do you mean "how long does it take Mars to orbit the sun?" if so, 687 Earth days.

Mars orbits 227 million kilometers away from the sun.

Mars is 150 million miles away from the sun
Mar's period of revolution around the Sun is 687 days. The length of the orbit, assuming a semi-major axis of 227.9 million kilometers and a circular orbit (which it is not, but it is close) is 1432 million kilometers, in case that was the question asked.

Is the orbit of Mars closer to Earth than the orbit of Venus?

No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.


Does Mars Orbit Around the Earth?

No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.


How often does Mars orbit Earth?

Never. Mars and earth both orbit the sun. Since Mars has a more distant orbit, a year on Mars is almost the equivalent of two years on earth.


How far is Mars from the sun and does it orbit?

mars is the 4th planet from the sun and it does orbit


Is earth orbit smaller than mars orbit?

Yes. Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so it will have a smaller orbit.


Why is Mars so slow at orbiting the Earth?

Mars does not orbit the Earth. Mars orbits the Sun, as does the Earth.


How long does it take for Mars to orbit the sun compared to Earth?

It takes Earth about 365 Earth days to orbit the sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days to orbit the sun. This means it takes Mars about 1.88 times longer to orbit the sun than Earth.


Why is mars not visible when in between the sun and the earth?

the orbit of mars is outside that of the earth's orbit so it can't go between earth and the sun


How many earth days does it take for Mars to orbit the sun?

It takes 687 Earth days for mars to orbit the Sun


When Venus passes between the Earth and the sun it is visible as a tiny black dot on the sun's bright disk. Why is Mars never visible in this same way?

The orbit of mars is outside that of the earths orbit


How close can Mars be to earth?

At opposition (Mars is opposite to the Sun), Mars can be between about 55 and 100 million kilometers - depending on where Earth and Mars meet (the orbit of Mars is quite a bit more excentric than Earth's orbit).


How long does it take mars to orbit earth one time?

Mars cannot orbit the earth. It orbits the Sun aprox. every 2 Earth years.
