Best Answer

mars' surface area is 144,798,500 km2 that is around 28% the size of earth.

mars' equatorial radius is 3,396 about 53% of the earth's

polar radius is 3,376 km slightly closer to 53% of earth's

and since orbits where brought up by a previous answer,

mar's semi major axis or the line that runs though the most space inside the elliptical or egg shape orbit is 227,939,100 km or about 150-160% of the earths.

mars orbits the sun just under 687 earth days. compared to 365 earth days for earth.

and finally it orbits the sun at 24.077 km per second ruffly 5.7km per second slower then earth at 29.78km per second

Because gravity pulled 75 percent of the solar systems rocky material closer to the sun. Mars is a left overs planet because of this.
