Why are Mars’s seasons generally similar to the Earth’s (other than their greater length)? Group of answer choices The eccentricity of Mars’s orbit is almost exactly the same as that of the Earth’s orbit. Mars takes about the same amount of time to orbit the Sun as the Earth does. Mars is about the same distance from the Sun as the Earth. Mars’s rotational axis is tilted with respect to the plane of the ecliptic, and by about the same amount as the Earth’s.
