Mars rotates on its axis in 24.6 hours. So the cycles of light and dark are very similar to those on the earth. One half of the rotation period is 12.3 hours ... just about 18 minutes longer than on earth. But we can't say that this is how long the daylight lasts. The days get longer and shorter in the course of the Martian year (687 earth days), for the same reason as on earth ... the planet's equator is tilted 24.9 degrees out of the plane of its orbit, compared to the earth's 23.5 degrees. Buit we can say that in the course of a Martian year, the average length of daylight for anyplace on the planet's surface is 12hours 18minutes.
