∙ 6y agoA day is defined as the time it takes the planet to do one complete turn on its axis.
A day on Mars is 1.025957 days or 24.622 hours or 24 hours and 37minutes long.
Mars is smaller that Earth but its rotational speed is slower than Earth.
The rotation period of Mars (one full turn around its axis) is slightly longer than one Earth Day.
More precisely it is 24 hours, 37 minutes, 22.663 seconds, otherwise expressed as 1.02595675 Earth days.
Improvement: First there are two main definitions of the
word "day". There is the sidereal day and the solar day. It's the
sidereal day that's the time taken for a planet to spin once on its axis.
The solar day depends on a planet's orbital motion as well as its
axial spin.
I notice you have used 24 hours as an "Earth day". That's the
solar day length.
A day on Mars is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds

Why is the solar day on Mars almost the same as Earth's solar day?
No particular reason, most likely coincidence.
How many earth day is there in a mars day?
The day lengths are very similar. Earth has a 24 hour day. This is the"solar day". Earth spins once in about 4 minutes less time than the solar day and that's called the sidereal day. Mars spins once in about 24 hours 37 minutes. The solar day on Mars is about 2 minutes longer.
How many days on mars equal 1 earth day?
I will compare the Martian "Sol" (the Mars solar day) with the solar day on Earth. The Sol is about 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than Earth's solar day of 24 hours. Thus, the answer is: about 0.9732 days on Mars equals 1 Earth day.
How earth days equals to mars days?
They are about the same. Mars' (solar) days are about 24 hours and 39.6 minutes. Earth's (mean solar) day is 24 hours exactly.
How long in one day in mars?
The length of a day on the planet Mars is 24 hours and 37 minutes. One year on the planet is equal to 680 days on Earth.
How long is a solar day on Mars?
The solar day (or sol) on Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds.
What is the solar day of mars?
Aproximately 24.6 hours.
Why is the solar day on Mars almost the same as Earth's solar day?

How many earth day is there in a mars day?
The day lengths are very similar. Earth has a 24 hour day. This is the"solar day". Earth spins once in about 4 minutes less time than the solar day and that's called the sidereal day. Mars spins once in about 24 hours 37 minutes. The solar day on Mars is about 2 minutes longer.
How many earth hours it takes a day on mars?
About 24 hours 39 minutes is the length of the "solar day" on Mars.
How many days on mars equal 1 earth day?
I will compare the Martian "Sol" (the Mars solar day) with the solar day on Earth. The Sol is about 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than Earth's solar day of 24 hours. Thus, the answer is: about 0.9732 days on Mars equals 1 Earth day.
Mars length of one day?
Mars has a similar day length to Earth, a little longer at 24h 39m 35s (apparent solar day).
How long is one day on Mars and why?
The (solar) day on Mars is about 24 hours 39.6 minutes. That's because Mars' rotation is slightly slower than Earth's.
What solar system is Mars in?
Mars is in our solar system.
How earth days equals to mars days?
They are about the same. Mars' (solar) days are about 24 hours and 39.6 minutes. Earth's (mean solar) day is 24 hours exactly.
Which planet's day is closest to that of an earth day?
A "sol", or solar day on Mars, is only about 40 minutes longer than a solar day on Earth. This is by far the closest to being the same as Earth's of any planet in the solar system.
How long is day on mars?
a day on mars is 24 hours and 37 minutes slightly longer than an earth day. Edit : Yes, but that's the "sidereal day" or rotation period. There's also the "solar day" which is about 2 minutes longer.
