What is the solar day on Mars?

Answer 1

A day on Mars is still called a day.

Answer 2

A 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

Answer 3

Mars rotates on its axis every 24 hours and 37 minutes. So a day on mars is just a little longer than a day on earth.

Answer 4

If you've never seen the movie Total Recall with Arnold Schwarzenegger, watch it. A visit to Mars, I'm sure, would be exactly like the movie.

Answer 5

Actually scientific studies show that mrs has no oxagin or a strong enough gravitational pull to sustain lif therefore thus not enhabbitable

Answer 6

One day on mars is 24 hours and 40 minutes long.

Answer 7

To avoid confusion, scientists use the term "sol" to refer to a Martian solar day. It's about 40 minutes longer than Earth's solar day.

Answer 8

A solar day on Mars, also known as a sol, is approximately 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds long. This is slightly longer than a day on Earth.
