Why does Mars have seasons twice as long as Earth's seasons?
Because Mars' average distance from the sun is about 1.5 times the earth's average distance from the sun. We've known for about 400 years now that the period of an orbit is completely determined by the size and shape of the orbit. The size or mass of the orbiting body have no effect on the period. So ... farther from the sun, longer time to complete each orbit. It's as simple as that. Here's the math: For every planet in our solar system, the quantity (time for one orbit)2 / (1/2 of the largest dimension across the orbit)3 is the same number.
Which of these planets has twice the earth's period of revolution?
Saturn has a period of revolution that is approximately twice as long as Earth's. While Earth takes about 365 days to complete one revolution around the Sun, Saturn takes roughly 29.5 Earth years to complete its orbit.
Is the rotation of mars period longer or shorter than earths?
Longer. A day on Mars is around 39 minutes longer than a day on Earth, and it also takes Mars 668 days to make one trip around the sun (which means that seasons on Mars are also nearly twice as long as seasons on Earth are).
How many seasons does Jupiter have?
Because the axis of Mars is tilted by 25.19 degrees, it does indeed have seasons similar to those of the Earth. When it is summer in the Martian northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa. There is one cycle of seasons - winter, spring, summer, and fall - every year, just like it is on Earth. (Actually, the seasonal cycle on Mars is 668.5921 Martian days, slightly longer than the Martian year. This is because the axis of Mars wobbles slightly as the planet turns.winter, summer, spring and fall
