Mars orbits farther from the sun,tthan Earth does, meand its orbital circumference is longer. Additionally, the farther out an orbiting object is, the slower it travels. So, to complete one orbit, Mars has to travel farther than Earth does and at a slower speed.
Astronomers refer to a planet's orbital period as its year. On that basis Mars does have a longer year than Earth.
If the Earth's rate of rotation were to decrease, days would become longer as it would take more time for the Earth to complete one rotation. This change in rotation speed would impact weather patterns, ocean currents, and potentially have a significant effect on Earth's ecosystem and climate.
The North has shorter days between the Autumnal equinox and the Spring equinox, and longer days for the other half of the year. In the South, it is the other way around. Averaged over the course of a year the day lengths are the same.
The length of the day is primarily determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis, while the changing seasons are caused by this tilt as well. In the summer and winter, the axis tilts more towards or away from the sun, causing longer or shorter days. This tilt also influences the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth, creating varying temperatures throughout the year.
The relationship between hours of sunlight and seasons is due to Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, creating the changing seasons. When a specific hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences longer days and shorter nights, resulting in summer. Conversely, when tilted away, that hemisphere experiences shorter days and longer nights, leading to winter.

No. A year on Earth is 365 1/4 days, while on Mars a year is 687 Earth days.
A year on Mars is 1.8808 Earth Years or 686.97 days
An Earth year is 365 Earth days. A Mars year is 686.98 Earth days. A Mars year is 1.88 Earth years.
In terms of Earth years, longer.
In terms of Earth years, longer.
Out of Mercury, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter, Jupiter has the longest year.
A year on Mars is equal to 687 Earth days. That is about 2 Earth years.
Because the orbit of Earth is closer to the Sun than the orbit of Mars.
While a year on Earth 365 days, it is longer on Mars. On Mars, it is not quite 687 Earth days, or 1.88 Earth years.
Planets closer to the sun than Earth orbit the sun in less than one year (Mercury and Venus), while planets further out from the sun than Earth take longer than a year (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). The further out you go, the longer it takes to orbit the sun.
A year on Mars is about 687 Earth days long, which is roughly 1.88 times longer than a year on Earth. This is because Mars takes longer to orbit the sun due to its greater distance from the sun compared to Earth.
