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?

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.


How much time does it take for Mars to complete its orbit?

Mars takes approximately 687 Earth days to complete one full orbit around the Sun. This longer orbital period is due to its greater distance from the Sun compared to Earth. As a result, a year on Mars is nearly twice as long as a year on Earth.


How many times does the earth orbit the sun by the time mars orbits the sun once?

Nearly twice. 1.88 times.


Is earth orbit smaller than mars orbit?

Yes. Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so it will have a smaller orbit.


Does Mars Orbit Around the Earth?

No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.


Why does Mars have seasons twice as long as Earth's seasons?

Because Mars' average distance from the sun is about 1.5 times the earth's average distance from the sun. We've known for about 400 years now that the period of an orbit is completely determined by the size and shape of the orbit. The size or mass of the orbiting body have no effect on the period. So ... farther from the sun, longer time to complete each orbit. It's as simple as that. Here's the math: For every planet in our solar system, the quantity (time for one orbit)2 / (1/2 of the largest dimension across the orbit)3 is the same number.


How fast does Mars orbit the sun?

Mars orbits the Sun at an average speed of about 24.07 km/s, or 54,054 mph. It takes approximately 687 Earth days for Mars to complete one orbit around the Sun.
