All things being equal, sunlight on Mars at aphelion would be about 36% as strong as sunlight on Earth. But Mars has a thinner atmosphere, so this will brighten it a little. Because your eyes adapt to the available light, the difference would be less noticable. Without a brighter comparison (sunny day vs. cloudy day here), the light would not seem intrinsically less. Since the Sun shows a smaller disk on Mars, shadows are sharper.

∙ 11y agoone day on mars is aprx. 24h 37m 22.663s
Improvement : That's the rotation period. It's not the answer.
Mars gets sunlight all day of course, but how much
a particular place gets varies like on Earth.

∙ 15y agoYes. Mars gets slightly less than half the sunlight (per square meter) as Earth does.
(And the Martian day is about the same as ours, although the year is twice as long.)
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoOf course mars has a sun it's the same as ours.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoBecause Mars is 141.6 million miles from the sun and its small atmosphere, it gets about half of the sunlight Earth does.

How much sunlight reaches mars surface?
not much
How much more sunlight on Mars than on Earth?
Mars gets LESS sunlight than Earth does, because of its greater distance from the Sun.
What is the amount of sunlight Mars receives in one Earth day?
about .2% lulz
Is it possible to create a artificial atmosphere on Mars And if yes then how?
It is not currently possible to create an artificial atmosphere on Mars. Even if it was, Mars does not get enough sunlight needed to sustain human life.

How much more sunlight on Mars than on Earth?
Mars gets LESS sunlight than Earth does, because of its greater distance from the Sun.
Does mars receive a lot of sunlight?
It does get sun but not as much as mercury and Venus
Is there sun light on Mars?
Mars if farther from the sun than the Earth is, so it gets less sunlight, but there is still sunlight on Mars - during the day.
Is there bright or dim sunlight Mars?
bright
What makes mars to shine?
Reflection of sunlight
Does mars have enough sunlight to live on?
There is enough sunlight on Mars to support photosynthesis, but factors other than sunlight make it inhospitable. Mars is too cold to live on outside of a heated shelter and the atmosphere is too thin to support any sort of Earthly life.
Does Mars have a bright or dim sunlight?
Yes, the sunlight received by mars will be less than that received by the Earth, since Mars is further away from our sun. the sun will appear to be much smaller and less energy is received per unit of area. The light level will be dimmer, but you would still be able to see quite well.
Is there the same amount of sun on mars as earth?
No. Mars is farther out, so the sunlight is more dispersed out ther.
Is the light on Mars greater or less than on the Moon?
If you are referring to the albedo or the natural light that is emitted from an object then the answer is the Moon. The Moon's albedo is .12, while the albedo of Mars is .15. Basically, this means that Mars is brighter, however we see the moon as being brighter because we are much closer to the moon than to mars. Alternatively, if you are asking which has more sunlight falling on it, the answer is the Moon. Mars is further from the Sun than the Moon, so there is less sunlight falling on each square inch of the Mars than on the Moon.
How does Mars gets it light?
The sun shines on Mars, just as it shines on the Earth. Since Mars is farther from the sun than the Earth is, it gets less sunlight.
