An Earth Day is based on the planet's rotation on its axis, taking approximately 24 hours to complete a full rotation. In contrast, a Mars day, known as a "sol," is about 24 hours and 39 minutes long. This slight difference means that a Mars day is roughly 40 minutes longer than an Earth day, which can impact the scheduling of missions and activities on the Martian surface.
The day lengths are very similar. Earth has a 24 hour day. This is the"solar day". Earth spins once in about 4 minutes less time than the solar day and that's called the sidereal day. Mars spins once in about 24 hours 37 minutes. The solar day on Mars is about 2 minutes longer.
The duration of The Day Mars Invaded Earth is 1.17 hours.
Plate tectonics on earth are vigorous and ongoing. Plate tectonics on Mars are a matter of debate. Long thought to be only in Mars distant past, there is a shift in opinion on the question of plate tectonics on Mars, and some (not all) scientists now believe that there is mild and sporadic plate tectonics happening on Mars to this day. But all agree that if that is the case, it is a fraction of those happening on earth.
A day on Mars (the time it takes to rotate on its axis) is 24.62 hours, just slightly longer than a day on Earth.A year on Mars (the time it takes to go around the Sun) is 686.97 days, almost 2 of our Earth years.for more information, See other related questions, e.g. how long is a day on mars?=]
I will compare the Martian "Sol" (the Mars solar day) with the solar day on Earth. The Sol is about 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than Earth's solar day of 24 hours. Thus, the answer is: about 0.9732 days on Mars equals 1 Earth day.
Mars is a cold, dry planet with a thin atmosphere, while Earth has a moderate climate, liquid water, and a thick atmosphere. Earth has a diverse range of life forms, while Mars has no known life. The length of a day on Mars is slightly longer than a day on Earth.
Mars' period of rotation on its axis is 24.6 hours, so its day is about 36 minutes longer than an earth day. So there would be 41 days on Earth in the same time as 40 days on Mars. If you were working on Mars, you probably would not notice the difference, as you would be taking care of many other things.
Mars. Although its year is significantly longer than an Earth year (time taken to orbit the Sun), its day length is very similar. It's slightly longer at about 24 hours and 37 mins. (That is the time taken for the planet to spin once on its axis, called a "sidereal" day.)

A day on Mars, known as a sol, is approximately 24 hours and 39 minutes. This difference compared to Earth's 24-hour day is due to Mars' slightly longer rotation period.
It's not. A day on Mars (a sidereal rotation period) is 1.026 Earth days.
The Day Mars Invaded Earth was created on 1963-02-14.
No planet really does have a day "the same length as Earth", but Mars definitely has the one that's the closest. The day length of Mars is just over half an hour longer than Earth's.
Plate tectonics on earth are vigorous and ongoing. Plate tectonics on Mars are a matter of debate. Long thought to be only in Mars distant past, there is a shift in opinion on the question of plate tectonics on Mars, and some (not all) scientists now believe that there is mild and sporadic plate tectonics happening on Mars to this day. But all agree that if that is the case, it is a fraction of those happening on earth.
A day on Mars is almost the same as an Earth day. It is only 39.6minutes longer.
Mars does. A day on Mars is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds, which is slightly longer than the roughly 24 hour day experienced on Earth.
