Mars travels at somewhere around 24,000 m/s in its orbit around the sun.
You can work this out by finding the distance of Mars to the Sun (the radius of orbit), finding the total distance of orbit (multiply your radius by 2*pi - assuming a circular orbit, which is ROUGHLY a good approximation), then divide by length of a Mars year.
Enjoy.

What is Mars' relative position to the Sun?
Mars is the fourth planet from the sunes dose
What is Earth's relative location from the sun?
venus and mars are Earth's relative locatin Actually the relative location of Earth from the Sun is 3 planets away from the sun.
What is mars relative distance from the sun?
About 227,936,640 km
Suppose you are riding in a car describe your motion relative tothe car the road and the sun?
Relative to the car you are motionless. Relative to the road you are moving at the speed of the car. Relative to the sun you are moving at the speed of Earth as it orbits the sun (30km a second).
What speed does have the earth?
Speed must be specified relative to something. Relative to the Sun, the speed of Earth is about 30 km/second. Relative to the Milky Way, or relative to the Local Group, you would get different numbers.
Is mars very big?
Mars is 6,786 Km. in diameter. Big is a relative term. It is big compared to its moons but small compared to the sun
What is the direction of mars from earth?
You can't give a definative direction as such as the Earth spins on its axis and also orbits the Sun, as does Mars, so their relative positions to each other alter. Mars is further away from the Sun than Earth.
What is the speed of mars' orbit about the sun?
Mars travels around the sun at a little over 54,000 mph and completes an orbit in roughly 687 Earth days
How many miles per hour does the sun travel?
There really isn't a way to know without first picking a reference point. For example, the speed of a runner or a car is relative to the speed of the Earth's surface. The speed of the Sun relative to our local standard of rest (determined by stars in our 'neighborhood') is only about 43,000 miles per hour, however relative to the rest of our galaxy the speed of the sun is in the neighborhood of 483,000 miles per hour. If galactic motion in the Universe is considered then the speed would be astronomical, potentially faster than the speed of light since space-time is still expanding (another example of the relativity of speed: even though we are going faster than light relative to the universe, relative to our particular region of space-time we are stationary)
Revolution of Mars?
Mars revolves around the Sun in about 687 Earth days, or 669 Mars days.
How long does it take Mars to revolve around the sun?
Mars takes about 686 Earth days (1.88 earth years) to revolve around the Sun. Because Mars is farther from the Sun, its orbit is longer, and it moves in that orbit at a slower speed than Earth.
What is Mars' relationship to the sun?
Mars is the 4th planet from the sun.
