Mars takes about 1.88 Earth years to rotate around the sun. These Earth years equal to about 687 Earth days.
Mars takes approximately 687 Earth days, which is about 1.88 Earth years, to complete one orbit around the Sun. This means it takes Mars less than 2 Earth years to go around the Sun, not 5 and a half years.
Mars is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. The orbital motion is a combination of the "sideways" velocity of Mars and the gravitational pull in the direction of the Sun. Another movement is the rotation of Mars on its axis.

It takes Mars approximately 1.88 Earth years to orbit the sun once. This is equal to about 17,569 hours.
Saturn is further from the sun than is Mars, so it has to travel further to go around the Sun once. As a result it takes Saturn longer to go around the Sun than it takes Mars. Since a year for any planet is the time it takes for it to go around the sun, the year for Saturn is longer than the year for Mars.
It takes 686.971 earth days for Mars to go once around the sun.
