A Year On Mars:

Basically, Mars takes the equivalent of 687 (Earth) days to complete a single orbit around the Sun, which works out to to 1.8809 Earth years, or 1 year, 320 days, and 18.2 hours. On the other hand, Mars has a rotation period that is very similar to Earth's – 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds.

Answer:

he Earth zips around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour, making a full revolution in about 365 days – one year on Earth. Mars is a little slower, and farther from the sun, so a full circuit takes 687 Earth days – or one Mars year.
