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 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.
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
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.
Will Mars be as close as the moon?
We certainly hope not! If Mars were to be disturbed from its orbit to approach the Earth so closely, it would probably destroy the Earth as well. No, Mars will remain in its orbit and the Earth will remain in OUR orbit, and with any luck, the planets will never meet.
What if there will be no Mars?
The gravitational pull of Mars helps keep the Earth in it's orbit.
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.
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).
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.
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.
What is the difference between Earth's orbit and Mars' orbit?
Earth takes 24 hours and Mars takes 24 hours and 37 minutes
Will Mars be as close as the moon?
We certainly hope not! If Mars were to be disturbed from its orbit to approach the Earth so closely, it would probably destroy the Earth as well. No, Mars will remain in its orbit and the Earth will remain in OUR orbit, and with any luck, the planets will never meet.
