The equatorial rotational speed for the planet Mars is about 868.22 km/hr or 540 mph. This is far slower than the rotation of Earth (1674.4 km/hr), giving the two planets roughly the same period of rotation (Mars day = 24.6 Earth hours).

Why are the days on Mars longer?

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.


What kind of rotation does Mars have?

Mars has a rotation similar to Earth, known as prograde rotation, where it rotates on its axis in the same direction as it orbits the sun. It takes about 24.6 hours for Mars to complete one full rotation.


What is the rotational speed of Phobos?

Phobos, one of Mars' moons, has a rotational speed that allows it to complete one rotation on its axis approximately every 7 hours and 39 minutes. Interestingly, this rotation period is longer than its orbital period around Mars, which is about 6 hours and 9 minutes. As a result, Phobos rises in the west and sets in the east on Mars, a unique characteristic among celestial bodies.
