Why does a year on mars take longer than a year on earth?

A 'year' is the time it takes for a planet to orbit the sun. In the case of earth, this is 365 and 1 quarter days. That is why a year lasts for 365 days and every fourth year ( a leap year) we add up all the odd quarter-days to make an extra day which we put into February - as February 29th. Mars, however, takes 687 (to the nearest day) earth days to go round the sun, so a Martian year is 687 days long - or 1.88 earth years.


How long does it take mars to make a full rotation around the sun?

Why are seaons on Mrs about twice as long as those on earth?

Mars has a longer year (687 Earth days) due to its greater distance from the sun, which results in a longer orbit. This longer orbit causes its seasons to be about twice as long as Earth's. Additionally, Mars has a more elliptical orbit compared to Earth, which can also impact the length and intensity of its seasons.
