∙ 11y agoJupiter travels at 13.72 km/s, compared to Mar's orbital velocity of 24.13 km/s.
Jupiter also has a longer distance to travel because it is further from the Sun.
Therefore, Jupiter's orbit takes 4,330 days to Mars' 686 days.
It all follows Kepler's 3rd law of planetary motion very nicely..

∙ 11y agoJupiter is farther from the Sun than Mars, so it takes longer to complete one orbit due to the larger circumference of its orbit. Jupiter's orbit is also influenced by its greater mass, which affects its velocity and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies, contributing to the longer orbital period compared to Mars.
It takes Jupiter longer to complete one orbit around the sun because it is located farther away from the sun than Earth. This greater distance means that Jupiter has a larger orbit and must travel a greater distance, resulting in a longer orbital period.
Jupiter takes longer to orbit than Mars because it is farther away from the sun and has a larger orbital path to travel. The gravity of the sun also weakens with distance, so Jupiter moves at a slower speed in its orbit. These factors result in Jupiter's longer orbital period compared to Mars.
The orbit of Jupiter is closer to Mars' orbit than to Saturn's orbit. Mars = 1.52AU Jupiter = 5.20AU Saturn = 9.54AU Having said that, the positions of the planets are always changing as the planets orbit the sun at different rates. Mars is the closest planet to Jupiter as of February 2011, but this is not always the case.
Mars is too far from Jupiter to be significantly affected by its gravity.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have longer years than Earth, while Mercury, Venus, and Mars have shorter years. The length of a planet's year is determined by its orbital period - the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Sun.

a year basically means how long it takes for a planet to make a complete orbit around its sun... the earth's is 364.25 days. Planets farther than ours e.g. mars, Jupiter etc. have longer orbit therefore take longer to complete an orbit around the sun, therefore a longer year :)
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Mars has a smaller orbit than Jupiter.
No, the moons of Mars (Phobos and Phoebe) orbit Mars. Jupiter is another planet and has its own moons.
Jupiter's period of revolution is longer than the inner planets' periods of revolution because it is so much farther away from the Sun. Jupiter has to travel over 2 billion miles (3.2 billion kilometers) father than Mars to get around the Sun. Jupiter's orbit is almost 4 times longer than that of Mars in distance. Also Jupiter orbits more slowly. So it takes Jupiter 6 times longer than Mars to orbit the Sun. (Mars is is farthest inner planet from then Sun.)

Tiny planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids.
Mars, because it travels farther to complete its orbit,
Asteroids are rocky bodies that orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter.
