Which planet has the longest synodic period and why?
Mars, because it takes the longest to get from opposition to opposition, when accounting for Earth's path around the Sun/
How long does it take for mars to obrbit the sun i?
Once round the Sun for Mars is 687 days. It takes 780 days (the synodic period) for the Earth to catch up Mars for the next opposition (i.e. the closest pass).
How long does it take the moon to complete an entire moon change?
29.53 days is a synodic period. One Full Moon to the next.
What is Mars planet year?
Mars has an orbital period of around 687 days.
Which planet has a orbital period of 687 days?
Mars.
How long is Mars' orbital period?
686.980 earth days, sidereal period; 779.94 earth days, synodic period.
What is the synodic period of the moon?
The synodic period of the moon is 29.5 days.

Missions to mars are launched about 26 months apart because that is the blank blank between earth and mars?
Yeah this is the Synodic Period... are you doing a crossword for a planet class right now... me too!
Synodic period of the moon?
29.530588 days.
Why stars seem to move faster than planets in the sky as viewed from earth?
It's because we are going round the Sun and so are all the planets. For that reason the time it takes for a planet to go round the ecliptic and arrive back at the same apparent position - called its synodic period - is longer than a year. Venus and Mars have the longest synodic period because their times to go round once are the closest to 365 days. They take 225 and 687 days to go round but the synodic periods are 584 and 780 days. On the other hand the far-out planets do not move much in a year. Neptune takes 165 years to go round so its synodic period is only a little over 365 days and is 367½ days.
What is the sun's period of rotation?
The sun has two types of period of rotation, the sidereal rotation period and the synodic rotation period. The sidereal rotation period is 24.47 days. The synodic rotation period is 26.24 days.
How long does it take the moon to go from full and back to new?
The synodic period of the moon is about 29.53 days.
What is a period on Mars?
a period on mars is why the colour of the ball it is red
What's the difference between a sidereal year and a synodic year?
A sidereal year is measured based on the planet's position in space relative to the background stars. A synodic year is measured based on the planet's position relative to the star it rotates around (i.e. the sun) Here's an image that is pretty helpful in visualizing.
Whats the period of revolution of Mars?
Mars has a rotational period of 24.6 hours.
