What else can I help you with?
Why is Mars so slow at orbiting the Earth?
Mars does not orbit the Earth. Mars orbits the Sun, as does the Earth.
Is mars faster are slower than earth when you orbit around the sun?
Mars takes longer to make one orbit of the sun. Its slower, and it also has further to go. Planets orbiting speeds get slower the further you go out.
Is mars going to smash into earth?
No, Mars is in a stable orbit, and isn't going to come anywhere near Earth.
What is unusual about the sun compared to other stars?
Because it has planets orbiting it (such as Earth, Jupiter and Mars)
How did metors from mars arrive on earth?
Martian meteorites were blasted of of Mars by enormous asteroid impacts and ended up orbiting the sun. Some of them eventually intersected Earth's orbit.
Who are earths neighbors?
Mars and Venus and the moon.
What year will it be when mars finishes orbiting the sun?
It depends what year it is. Mars takes 88 more days then earth so just count 88 more days.
Can Olympus Mons be seen from earth?
Yes, Olympus Mons, a large shield volcano on Mars, cannot be seen from Earth with the naked eye. It is much easier to observe using telescopes or spacecraft orbiting Mars.
Does mars have satellites orbiting it?
Yes, we have satellites orbiting mars. The last few probes that we've sent contained both landers and satellites intended to orbit the planet. They not only photograph the planet but they also serve as relays and retransmitters for the landers when communicating with Earth.
Where is Mars located usually?
In space, orbiting the sun. Its orbital position is fourth, between the Earth and Jupiter or, more specifically, between the Earth and the asteroid belt.
Is mars the 1st 2nd 3rd planet from the sun?
Mars follows the Earth in the succession of planets orbiting the Sun. It is thus the 4th planet from the Sun.
Does the earth orbit twice as fast as mars?
Not quite exactly, or nowhere-near, depending on what you mean by "how fast".Period of orbitEarth . . . 365.26 earth-daysMars. . . . 686.97 earth-daysThe Earth takes 53.2% as long as Mars does to orbit the sun. But that's "orbiting about twice as frequently", not "orbiting twice as fast".Average orbital speedEarth . . . 29.8 kms-1Mars. . . . 24.1 kms-1Earth only moves 26% faster than Mars in its orbit.
