Astronomers refer to a planet's orbital period as its year. On that basis Mars does have a longer year than Earth.

Which planets year is one year longer than earths?

Mars, with a orbital period of around 687 days, almost two Earth years (which would be 730 days).


What causes mars and saturn to have years lengths?

Saturn is further from the sun than is Mars, so it has to travel further to go around the Sun once. As a result it takes Saturn longer to go around the Sun than it takes Mars. Since a year for any planet is the time it takes for it to go around the sun, the year for Saturn is longer than the year for Mars.


Which body has a longer year than earth?

Mars, because it travels farther to complete its orbit,


What the length of one year on Mars?

A year on Mars, also known as a Martian year, is longer than an Earth year. It lasts approximately 687 Earth days. This is due to Mars taking longer to orbit around the Sun compared to Earth.

How long does it take mars to rotate on it axis?

Mars rotates on its axis at a slightly slower pace than Earth, with a day on Mars, known as a "sol," lasting about 24.6 hours. This means that a day on Mars is only slightly longer than a day on Earth, but Mars has a longer year due to its longer orbit around the sun.


How would the length of a year on mars compare with that on earth and Why?

It would be longer because Mars is further away from the sun and orbits slower than the Earth; therefore will take longer to complete a full revolution.


Is the solar year of Venus equal to or longer than the solar year of Mars?

The solar year of Venus should be shorter than the solar year of Mars because Venus is closer to the sun, so its rotation around the sun should take less time than a full rotation of the Sun for Mars. Also a solar year for Venus is 224.7 Earth days and a solar year for Mars is about 687 Earth days.


Is the time on mars different then the time on earth?

If you mean unit of time, then yes. A second on Earth is the same as a second on Mars, as is a minute, or an hour. Mars' length of day, however is slightly longer than an average Earth day because it rotates slightly slower than the Earth. A Martian year is also longer than a year on Earth because its orbit around the Sun is longer. One orbit around the Sun for Mars takes a little less than two Earth years.
