It doesnt orbit earth because the Suns gravity is stronger than earths gravity. And the sun is about 1 million times bigger than earth so with inertia and all it orbits the sun.
No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.
Mars and Earth orbit the Sun at different speeds and distances. At certain points in their orbits, Mars can be in front of Earth (when it is closer to the Sun) and at other times it can be behind Earth (when Earth is closer to the Sun). The relative positions of Mars and Earth change constantly due to their orbital motion.
Never. Mars and earth both orbit the sun. Since Mars has a more distant orbit, a year on Mars is almost the equivalent of two years on earth.
Earth is between Venus and Mars. Well, not really; but the orbit of Earth is between the orbits of Venus and Mars. Venus, Mars and Earth never actually "line up".
The Earth's distance from the moon or Mars is always changing. The closest the moon can get to Earth is 225,622 miles. The farthest it can get is 252,088 miles. The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.

Yes. Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so it will have a smaller orbit.
Earth is the next planet to orbit inside Mars, while Jupiter is the next planet to orbit outside Mars orbit. Mars' orbit is closer to Venus (and Mercurys') orbit than it is to Jupiters though.
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.
No, Mars is closer to Earth than Jupiter.
Mars and Earth orbit the Sun at different speeds and distances. At certain points in their orbits, Mars can be in front of Earth (when it is closer to the Sun) and at other times it can be behind Earth (when Earth is closer to the Sun). The relative positions of Mars and Earth change constantly due to their orbital motion.
Because the orbit of Earth is closer to the Sun than the orbit of Mars.
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.
Mars does not orbit the Earth. Mars orbits the Sun, as does the Earth.
Never. Mars and earth both orbit the sun. Since Mars has a more distant orbit, a year on Mars is almost the equivalent of two years on earth.
At opposition (Mars is opposite to the Sun), Mars can be between about 55 and 100 million kilometers - depending on where Earth and Mars meet (the orbit of Mars is quite a bit more excentric than Earth's orbit).
Earth is between Venus and Mars. Well, not really; but the orbit of Earth is between the orbits of Venus and Mars. Venus, Mars and Earth never actually "line up".
