Depends on your perspective, doesn't it? Having said that, if you're looking at our galaxy from a "top" view (i.e. down towards the Earth's north pole), then Mars, like everything else in the galaxy, revolves around the Sun in a counter-clockwise direction.

How many days does mars take to orbit the sun?
Mars takes 686.971 (or 687 days) Earth days to orbit the Sun.
What is the direction of Mars' revolution around the Sun?
Seen from a vantage point over the "north pole" of the Sun, all the planets in our solar system orbit in an anti-clockwise direction.
Does Mars Orbit Around the Earth?
No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.
How many earth days does it take for Mars to orbit the sun?
It takes 687 Earth days for mars to orbit the Sun
What is the time taken by MARS to complete an orbit around the sun?
Mars takes about 687 Earth days to orbit the Sun once.
What way does the sun travel ins orbit clockwise or anticlockwise?
As viewed from the galactic north, the Sun orbits in a clockwise motion
Do the planets orbit the sun counterclockwise?
There being no up or down in space, there is no clockwise or anticlockwise either.
Does the sun go clockwise or anticlockwise around the galactic center?
Clockwise.
Do inferior planets orbit the sun clockwise?
NO. They orbit counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual convention. (Mercury and Venus are called the "inferior planets" because their orbits are between the Sun and the Earth.)
How far is Mars from the sun and does it orbit?
mars is the 4th planet from the sun and it does orbit
Does the sun orbit Mars?
All planets orbit the Sun.
What is the revolution direction of Mars?
Mars spins counter-clockwise, and its direction of orbiting the Sun is counter-clockwise from the Sun's viewpoint.
Do comets orbit mars and Jupiter?
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is the direction of the orbit of the earth?
If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).
How many days does mars take to orbit the sun?
Mars takes 686.971 (or 687 days) Earth days to orbit the Sun.
Does mars circle the sun clockwise?
no
Which planet moves anticlockwise round the sun?
Six of the eight major planets rotate "anticlockwise" (counterclockwise) as seen from above the Earth's north pole: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. The rotation of Venus is slowly clockwise, while the spin of Uranus is now observed to be clockwise because it has been tipped over more than 90 degrees "onto its side" (as if rolling along its orbital path at times).
