Mars has a similar day length to Earth, a little longer at 24h 39m 35s (apparent solar day). Its year is longer though, 686.971 days to orbit the sun. The planets year lengths are all fairly unique, related to their distances from the sun.

Geostationary satellites are those that take 24 hours to make one full orbit around the earth. As the name suggests, these satellites are fixed above a single point above the Earth's equator.

Earth's Moon takes the same amount of time to rotate and revolve around the Earth. This is why we only see one side of the Moon from Earth.
