The orbit is an ellipse with a semimajor axis of 227.9 million km and an eccentricity of 9.3%.

That means that the orbit is approximately a circle with the Sun off-centre by 227.9 x 0.093 million km, or 21.2 million km.

The distance from the Sun varies between 206.7 and 249.1 million km, a variation of 18% which means that the Sun's heating effect varies by 37% through the Mars year.
