Mars rotates in about 24 hours and 37 minutes.

Earth rotates in about 23 hours and 56 minutes.

These times are called "sidereal " days.

Earth's "solar day" is 24 hours.

Mars has a solar day of about 24 hours and 39 minutes.

The solar day is a bit longer because it depends on a planet's orbital motion as well as it's rotation on its axis.

Finally Mars orbits the Sun in about 687 Earth days (a Martian "year").

Earth of course orbits in about 365 days.

How does the length of a year on Mars compare with the length of year on Earth?

Mars, with a orbital period of around 687 days, almost two Earth years (1.88 earth years).


How does the length of a year on mars compare with the length of a year on Earth?

A year on Mars is about 687 Earth days long, which is roughly 1.88 times longer than a year on Earth. This is because Mars takes longer to orbit the sun due to its greater distance from the sun compared to Earth.

How would the length of a year on mars compare with that on earth and Why?

It would be longer because Mars is further away from the sun and orbits slower than the Earth; therefore will take longer to complete a full revolution.


Length of one year in Mars time?

How long does it take mars to travel around the sun?

The length of the Martian Year is 1.88 times the length of Earth's year.


What is Earth's relative length of year?

A year here on planet Earth is 365 and a quarter days long. A "relative length of year" can only be given by comparison with some other object's year. Since we live on the Earth, we usually compare the years of other planets to that of Earth, rather than the other way around. So the year of Mars is 1.88 Earth years and that of Venus is 0.615 Earth years. The year of Earth is 1.000 Earth years.


Which planet has a year which is twice the length of an earth year?

Mars with an orbital period of 1.88 years.


Which planet has a similar length of day as Earth?

Mars. Although its year is significantly longer than an Earth year (time taken to orbit the Sun), its day length is very similar. It's slightly longer at about 24 hours and 37 mins. (That is the time taken for the planet to spin once on its axis, called a "sidereal" day.)
