24.6 Earth Hours
Mars takes about 24 hours and 39 minutes to rotate.
it takes about 6 months earth time for mars to rotate around the sun
687 Earth Days.
The "day" on Mars, the time it takes for one complete rotation, is about 24.62 Earth hours.
500 miles away from the sun
One Mars year requires 686.98 Earth solar days. Of course, if this is a "trick question", the answer would be "all the time".
Seeing as Mars is further away from Earth, it will obviously take longer and at it's distance of 1.52AU, it takes 687 days to rotate on it's 25.2 degree axis.
53 hours with 56 minutes
The time it takes to make one spin on its axis relative to the background stars is 24h:37min:22.663sec
The "day" on Mars, the time it takes for one complete rotation, is about 24.63 Earth hours. 24 hours and 37 minutes. About 24.6 hours
Its to do with the time taken for the planet to rotate once on it axis, Mars just takes a little longer, making its apparent day longer.
It takes Mars 24 hours 37 mins 23 seconds (Earth time) to rotate once on its axis. That is its sidereal rotation period, relative to the far distant stars.
