cause mars is furthur
The two reasons why Mars takes longer to orbit the Sun than Mercury are its greater distance from the Sun and its slower orbital speed due to its larger orbit. Mercury is much closer to the Sun and has a shorter orbit around it compared to Mars.
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.
Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Mercury because it is farther away from the sun and orbits at a greater distance. This means Mars has a longer path to travel around the sun, resulting in a longer orbital period. Mercury, being closer to the sun, has a shorter path to travel and completes its orbit more quickly.
Earth is the next planet to orbit inside Mars, while Jupiter is the next planet to orbit outside Mars orbit. Mars' orbit is closer to Venus (and Mercurys') orbit than it is to Jupiters though.
Mercury and Venus take less time to orbit the Sun than the Earth does. ummm...if you need 5 then...earth, venus, mercury, mars and jupiter
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all take less time than Saturn to orbit the sun. Mercury has the shortest orbital period, completing an orbit in about 88 Earth days. Venus takes about 225 Earth days, Earth takes 365 days, and Mars takes about 687 Earth days.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter.
Yes. Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so it will have a smaller orbit.
Yes, It does. Considering Newtonian physics and assuming circular orbit for simple calculations, this is because in order to equalize gravitational pull of Sun which is higher at Mars orbit, the centrifugal force must be adequately higher(and it rises proportionally to square of velocity).
Mercury is closer to the sun than mars
All the planets have elliptical orbits, but Mercury and Mars have the greatest eccentricity. As to why Mercury's orbit is the most eccentric may be related to its proximity to the Sun.
Just a bit slower. It's rotation period is 24 hours and 37 minutes. Just imagine, if you lived on Mars, you could sleep in an extra half hour, and still have an extra seven minutes to get ready for work!
