The orbital gap between the planets of Mars and Jupiter is referred to as the Asteroid Belt.
In the Asteroid Belt are a widely-scattered assortment of space rocks (called asteroids), some of which are large enough to be visible from Earth. There are many millions of asteroids, but the region is so large that they are usually thousands of miles from each other. The dwarf planet Ceres is the largest object in the Belt.
Earth's orbit is closer to the sun than Mars' orbit. Earth takes about 365 days to orbit the sun while Mars takes about 687 days. Additionally, Mars has a more elliptical orbit compared to Earth's nearly circular orbit.
Diemos, the smaller of the two moons of Mars, takes 30.3 hours to make one orbit of Mars.
Mars follows an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with an average distance of about 225 million kilometers. Its orbit is tilted slightly compared to Earth's orbit, which affects its position in the sky when viewed from Earth. Mars takes about 687 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun.
There are no planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars. The planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars are Mercury and Venus, with Mars being the next planet in the sequence.
Mars takes 686.971 (or 687 days) Earth days to orbit the Sun.
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
Earth's orbit is closer to the sun than Mars' orbit. Earth takes about 365 days to orbit the sun while Mars takes about 687 days. Additionally, Mars has a more elliptical orbit compared to Earth's nearly circular orbit.
Yes. Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so it will have a smaller orbit.
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Diemos, the smaller of the two moons of Mars, takes 30.3 hours to make one orbit of Mars.
No. Mars is a planet and thus much smaller than any star. Stars cannot orbit planets. However, Mars does orbit the sun, which is a star.
Mars's orbit is not unusual.
The asteroid belt orbits the Sun. Phobos and Deimos the moons of Mars orbit Mars.
Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos, but no planets orbit it.
The two natural satellites that orbit Mars are Phobos and Deimos.
