  2. Orbit of Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_of_Mars

    Extra-close oppositions of Mars happen every 15 to 17 years, when we pass between Mars and the Sun around the time of its perihelion (closest point to the Sun in orbit). The minimum distance between Earth and Mars has been declining over the years, and in 2003 the minimum distance was 55.76 million km, nearer than any such encounter in almost ...

  3. Astronomy on Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy_on_Mars

    On both Earth and Mars, these two precessions are in opposite directions, and therefore add, to make the precession cycle between the tropical and anomalistic years 21,000 years on Earth and 29,700 Martian years (55,900 Earth years) on Mars. As on Earth, the period of rotation of Mars (the length of its day) is slowing down.

  4. Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars

    Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron(III) oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet". [22] [23] Mars is among the brightest objects in Earth's sky, and its high-contrast albedo features have made it a common subject for telescope viewing.

  5. Rotation period (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_period_(astronomy)

    In astronomy, the rotation period or spin period [1] of a celestial object (e.g., star, planet, moon, asteroid) has two definitions. The first one corresponds to the sidereal rotation period (or sidereal day), i.e., the time that the object takes to complete a full rotation around its axis relative to the background stars (inertial space).

  6. Tidal acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_acceleration

    However, the slowdown of Earth's rotation is not occurring fast enough for the rotation to lengthen to a month before other effects make this irrelevant: about 1 to 1.5 billion years from now, the continual increase of the Sun's radiation will likely cause Earth's oceans to vaporize, [15] removing the bulk of the tidal friction and acceleration.

  7. Apsidal precession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsidal_precession

    From these and the speed of light (which is ~ 3 × 10 8 m/s), it can be calculated that the apsidal precession during one period of revolution is ε = 5.028 × 10 −7 radians (2.88 × 10 −5 degrees or 0.104″). In one hundred years, Mercury makes approximately 415 revolutions around the Sun, and thus in that time, the apsidal perihelion due ...

  9. Heliocentric orbit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentric_orbit

    A trans-Mars injection (TMI) is a heliocentric orbit in which a propulsive maneuver is used to set a spacecraft on a trajectory, also known as Mars transfer orbit, which will place it as far as Mars orbit. Every two years, low-energy transfer windows open up, which allow movement between the two planets with the lowest possible energy requirements.
