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).

∙ 10y agoYes, it does. The farther a planet is from the sun, the slower is its orbit. Earth's orbital speed is about 29.8 km/s, and the orbital speed of Mars is about 24 km/s. A year on Mars is about 687 earth days.
Correct, the Earth orbits the sun faster than Mars does.

The time it takes for the Earth to rotate a full rotation is 24 hrs. However, the time it takes for Mars to rotate a full rotation is 24 hrs and 39 mins, which is 39 mins longer than the rotational period of the Earth. Comparing the rotational periods of Mars to the Earth, we figure out that Mars rotates slower, not faster, than the Earth.

A day on Mars is about 1 day plus 37 minutes of Earth time. Hence, Mars rotates slower on its axis than does Earth.

∙ 15y agoNo, Neptune orbits slower than Jupiter because Neptune is farther from the Sun.

∙ 11y agoDoes Jupiter rotate faster than earth?
A point on the equator on Jupiter is rotating at 12.6 km/s
A point on the equator on Earth is rotating at 2532545.35 mt

Do the gas planets rotate slower or faster than earth?
they rotate faster
How fast does mars go around the sun?
Mars takes about 1.88 Earth years to rotate around the sun. These Earth years equal to about 687 Earth days.
What if anything would happen to the shape of the earth if it were to rotate on its axis faster than it does today?
What if anything would happen to the shape of the earth if it were to rotate on its axis faster than it does todayWell ladies and gentlemen
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Than the equator of what? The sun's equator rotates faster than it's poles (about 25 [Earth] days vrs about 40 near the poles).
Why is a day on the mars about 37 minutes longer than a day on the earth?
Its to do with the time taken for the planet to rotate once on it axis, Mars just takes a little longer, making its apparent day longer.
Does Venus and mercury spin faster then earth and mars?
Venus and Mercury rotate slowly, much more slowly than Earth or Mars.
Do the gas planets rotate slower or faster than earth?
they rotate faster
How fast does mars go around the sun?
Mars takes about 1.88 Earth years to rotate around the sun. These Earth years equal to about 687 Earth days.
How many hours and minute less does it take mars than earth to rotate the sun?
it takes about 6 months earth time for mars to rotate around the sun
Does Mars rotate horizontally or vertically?
Mars rotates horizontally around the sun in a counter clockwise motion. Mars does rotate at a rate of 40 minutes slower than the Earth.
Does the earth spin faster than mars?
Yes

How long does it take for Mars to rotate in comparison to Earth?
Mars rotates on its axis once in 24.6229 hours, while Earth does that in 23.9345 hours. So Mars has a day about 30 minutes shorter than Earth.
Does venus travel throught space faster than earth?
Earth spins faster than Venus.Here's a link for information:http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/venus_worldbook.html
Is mars smaller or larger than earth?
Smaller, Mars is about half the size of Earth
Does the sun rotate faster than the equator?
Than the equator of what? The sun's equator rotates faster than it's poles (about 25 [Earth] days vrs about 40 near the poles).
What is the earth days for mars to rotate?
A Martian day is only 40 minutes longer than an Earth day, but its year is almost twice as long as ours.
