Earth takes 24 hours and Mars takes 24 hours and 37 minutes
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 appears to move backward in the sky during its retrograde motion because of the difference in orbital speeds between Mars and Earth. This creates an optical illusion as Earth overtakes Mars in its orbit, making it appear as if Mars is moving backward relative to the background stars.
space junk
An asteroid from the orbit between Mars and Jupiter known as the asteroid belt.
probably the sun since one of earths eliptical foci is the sun
The orbit of mars is outside that of the earths orbit
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.
It takes Mars 687 days to orbit the sun, so it is roughly two earth years.
takes longer to orbit the sun
0.523 AU apart. On average. Neither the earth's orbit, or particularly Mars' orbit are perfect circles. So "closest approach" is rarely this distance.
No. Comets orbit the sun. Many asteroids orbit the sun in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids
the orbit of mars is outside that of the earth's orbit so it can't go between earth and the sun
Tiny planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids.
The planet whose orbit is between those of Venus and Mars is Earth.
Asteroids are rocky bodies that orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Mars orbits the sun instead of Earth because all planets, including Mars, orbit the sun due to the sun's gravitational pull. The gravitational force exerted by the sun on Mars is stronger than the gravitational force between Earth and Mars. This gravitational force keeps Mars in orbit around the sun.
