Because Mars rotates slower than Earth
No. A year on Earth is 365 1/4 days, while on Mars a year is 687 Earth days.
Astronomers refer to a planet's orbital period as its year. On that basis Mars does have a longer year than Earth.
Mars takes just a little longer than earth does, at 24.6229 hours or 1.6 earth days
A year on Mars, also known as a Martian year, is longer than an Earth year. It lasts approximately 687 Earth days. This is due to Mars taking longer to orbit around the Sun compared to Earth.
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.
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).
Mercury and Venus have days longer than 24 hours, while Mars has a day that is just slightly longer than Earth's 24-hour day.
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.
A year on Mars is about 687 Earth days long, which is roughly 1.88 times longer than a year on Earth. This is because Mars takes longer to orbit the sun due to its greater distance from the sun compared to Earth.
The length of a planet's day depends on the speed of its rotation. Mars rotates slightly more slowly than Earth does, and so it has a slightly longer day.
Mars has a year that is approximately 686 Earth days long. It travels around the sun in an elliptical orbit, which causes its year to be longer than Earth's.
Mars orbits farther from the sun,tthan Earth does, meand its orbital circumference is longer. Additionally, the farther out an orbiting object is, the slower it travels. So, to complete one orbit, Mars has to travel farther than Earth does and at a slower speed.
