One Martian year is approximately TWO Terrestial (Earth) Years.
A year on Mars is 687 earth days, which is the time it takes for it to make one orbit of the sun.
The planet Mars is round in shape. All of the planets in our solar system are orbits. The gravitational pull of the sun has formed the planets to be around.
Mars does not rotate around the Sun. It revolves around the Sun. It takes Mars about 687 Earth days for Mars to revolve once around the Sun.Planets and moons rotate about their own axes, but they revolve around the Sun (for planets) or (for moons) other planets.
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.
Mars cannot orbit the earth. It orbits the Sun aprox. every 2 Earth years.
not sure
it takes 88 days for mars to complete its revolution round the sun
Once round the Sun for Mars is 687 days. It takes 780 days (the synodic period) for the Earth to catch up Mars for the next opposition (i.e. the closest pass).
It takes 686.971 earth days for Mars to go once around the sun.
Mars takes 1.8808476 years to orbit the sun which is roughly 687 days.
it will take 1.5 times longer for light from the sun to get to mars than to get to earth
668.6 days
Mars takes about 687 earth days to rotate around the Sun
Mars is closest to the sun at a distance of about 206,669,000 kilometers. That's about 11.49 light minutes.
a year on mars is equivalent to 687 earth days.
Its the other way around. Mars revolves around the Sun, with a period of 687 Earth days.
It takes mars 687 days for mars to travel around the sun once
