The length of a planet's day depends on the speed of its rotation. Mars rotates slightly more slowly than Earth does, and so it has a slightly longer day.
686.971 Earth days in fact. Edit: That number looks like the time, in Earth days, for Mars to orbit the Sun. Maybe that helps.
One year on Mars is approximately 687 Earth days. This is because Mars takes longer to orbit around the sun compared to Earth.
Mars has a rotation period of about 24.6 hours, which is similar to Earth's day length. However, Mars has a longer year due to its longer orbit around the Sun, which takes about 687 Earth days.
Mars takes approximately 687 Earth days to complete one orbit around the Sun. The average distance between Mars and the Sun is about 142 million miles. This longer orbit results in Mars having a longer year compared to Earth.
Mars is always rotating around the Sun, 24/7. Every planet does that.
Because Mars rotates slower than Earth
A day on Mars is less than an hour longer. Venus and Mercury have far longer days.
A year on Mars is 1.8808 Earth Years or 686.97 days

No. A year on Earth is 365 1/4 days, while on Mars a year is 687 Earth days.
An Earth year is 365 Earth days. A Mars year is 686.98 Earth days. A Mars year is 1.88 Earth years.
While a year on Earth 365 days, it is longer on Mars. On Mars, it is not quite 687 Earth days, or 1.88 Earth years.
A year on Mars, also known as a Martian year, is longer than an Earth year. It lasts approximately 687 Earth days. This is due to Mars taking longer to orbit around the Sun compared to Earth.
Mars has a rotation period of about 24.6 hours, which is similar to Earth's day length. However, Mars has a longer year due to its longer orbit around the Sun, which takes about 687 Earth days.
A year on Mars is equal to 687 Earth days. That is about 2 Earth years.
A day on Mars is almost the same as an Earth day. It is only 39.6minutes longer.
