Not quite exactly, or nowhere-near, depending on what you mean by "how fast".

Period of orbit

Earth . . . 365.26 earth-days

Mars. . . . 686.97 earth-days

The Earth takes 53.2% as long as Mars does to orbit the sun. But that's "orbiting about twice as frequently", not "orbiting twice as fast".

Average orbital speed

Earth . . . 29.8 kms-1

Mars. . . . 24.1 kms-1

Earth only moves 26% faster than Mars in its orbit.

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.


How many years does Mars takes to orbit the sun?

About 2 yrs. The orbit of Mars is about twice that of Earth's. == == Do you mean "how long does it take Mars to orbit the sun?" if so, 687 Earth days. Mars orbits 227 million kilometers away from the sun.


What is the difference between Earth's orbit and Mars' orbit?
