How long does it take Mars to go around the sun? Mars revolves or orbits around the Sun once every 1.88 Earth years, or once every 686.93 Earth days. Mars travels at an average speed of 53,979 miles per hour or 86,871 kilometers per hour in its orbit around the Sun

It takes Earth about 365 Earth days to travel around the sun.
Meanwhile, it takes Mars about 687 Earth days to travel around the sun.
Therefore, in the time it takes Mars to make one trip around the sun, Earth has made almost two trips.
687-365=322 days.
1 Mars revolution=1.88 Earth revolutions.
