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.

∙ 14y agoA year is the time it takes for a planet to make a full rotation around the sun. Mars is the next 'outer' planet from earth, so it takes longer to make its full orbit around the sun

Is a year on Mars longer or shorter than an earth year?
Astronomers refer to a planet's orbital period as its year. On that basis Mars does have a longer year than Earth.
What would happen if the earth’s rate of rotation were to decrease?
A- the day would get longer B- the year would get longer C- the day would get shorter D- the year would get shorter
Is the day length in the north shorter or longer than the south?
The North has shorter days between the Autumnal equinox and the Spring equinox, and longer days for the other half of the year. In the South, it is the other way around. Averaged over the course of a year the day lengths are the same.
Is the earth hotter than mars?
Yes, it is much hotter than mars but it really depens at what time of the year, mars is a very cold planet it can go as low as -140*C on average and can only get up to as high as 27*C, meaning Earth is a hotter planet as it is closer to the sun
What is a result of an increase in the earth's rotation rate?
Days would be shorter. A year would be the same length of time, but it would have more days in it.
Is a year on Mars longer or shorter than an earth year?
Astronomers refer to a planet's orbital period as its year. On that basis Mars does have a longer year than Earth.
Is a year on mars shorter than earth?
No. A year on Earth is 365 1/4 days, while on Mars a year is 687 Earth days.
Which is longer a year on earth or a year on mars?
A year on Mars is 1.8808 Earth Years or 686.97 days
Earth's year is slightly longer due to the gravity of Mars?
An Earth year is 365 Earth days. A Mars year is 686.98 Earth days. A Mars year is 1.88 Earth years.
Does Jupiter have a shorter or longer year than earth?
longer
Would a year on neptune be longer or shorter than earth year?
In terms of Earth years, longer.
Are there 100-year-long storms on Mars?
There can be but there can be shorter ones and longer ones
Which planet has a longer year - Mercury Earth Mars Jupiter?
Out of Mercury, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter, Jupiter has the longest year.
Would a year on Neptune be longer or shorter than on earth?
In terms of Earth years, longer.
Why is an Earth year shorter than an Martian year?
Because the orbit of Earth is closer to the Sun than the orbit of Mars.
Would a mercury year be longer or shorter than a earth year?
Shorter. Mercury has a shorter orbit than earth and 1 day in mercury = 59 days on Earth. 1 year on mercury= 88 days on earth.
How long is a martain year?
While a year on Earth 365 days, it is longer on Mars. On Mars, it is not quite 687 Earth days, or 1.88 Earth years.
