A year on Mars is almost twice as long as a year on Earth, being 686.9726 Earth days long. However, this would be in 24 hour "Earth days", which are about forty minutes shorter than the Martian solar day.

A Martian year is about 668.6 Martian solar days. (That is about 1.88 Earth years.) A solar day, or 'sol', is how long it takes the Sun to return to the meridian, and it varies slightly each day: the average length is 24 hours 39 minutes and 35 seconds.
