A day on Mars is a bit longer than on Earth - 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35 seconds. So, just as the length of daylight on Earth depends on (a) the seasons, and (b) the latitude of the location in question, so a random place on Mars would have a varied range of possible length of daylight. If you know what part of the planet you need to know about then you can probably compare it easily with the earth - allowing for the angle the planet's rotation makes with the Sun.

How long does the light on mars last in a day?

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.

How many hours of daylight are there in each month?

There is no answer to that, because it varies all around the world. So the amount of daylight on a given day in one part of the world, isn't the same in all other parts of the world. In the middle of the northern hemisphere's winter there is no daylight at the North Pole, but there is more and more as you head south ending in there being 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole, where it is the middle of summer. You can also say that there is always daylight somewhere in the world, and therefore there is permanent daylight on Earth, so there is 24 hours of daylight every day.
