At Mars' closest approach to earth, about 4 light-minutes, or 0.00267 light-days (rounded).
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
It takes light about 3 minutes to travel from Mars to Earth when the two planets are at their closest distance, which is about 54.6 million kilometers. At their farthest distance, which is about 401 million kilometers, it takes light about 22 minutes to reach Earth from Mars.
It takes around 7 minutes for light to travel from Earth to Mars when they are at their closest approach, known as opposition. Therefore, for a pulse of laser light to reach Mars and return to Earth, it would take approximately 14 minutes.
Mars takes about 687 Earth days, or 1.88 Earth years, to orbit the Sun once.
It takes mars 687 days for mars to travel around the sun once
From where ? ? ? From the sun: 12min 40sec From the earth when Mars is closest: 4min 21sec From the earth when Mars is farthest: 20min 59sec

It would take about 22.5 minutes.

Mars takes about 687 Earth days, or 1.88 Earth years, to orbit the Sun once.
It would take about 9 years to travel from Earth to Jupiter, assuming a similar speed and trajectory as the trip from Earth to Mars. Jupiter is much farther away from Earth than Mars, so the journey would be significantly longer.
A light-year is not a measurement of time but of distance. How far light can travel in a year. Your question therefore asks about the distant between the Earth and Mars which varies with their orbiting about the sun.. However, Earth and Mars are never anywhere near a light year abart. At most, they are about 12 light minutes apart.
The time to travel to Mars is approximately 214 days (Earth days of course).
it will take 1.5 times longer for light from the sun to get to mars than to get to earth
