Because it spins on its own axis at more or less the same speed Earth does, giving it a day/night time of approximately the same as Earth's, longer by more or less a couple of hours. Mar's year is longer because it has a longer distance to travel around the sun and less angular momentum than Earth's so it takes longer, almost double Earth's the time.

Do any planets have longer days or years?
No two planets in our solar system have the same length of day or length of year. Compared with Earth, these planets have longer years: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. These have much longer days than Earth: Mercury and Venus. Mars has a day that's slightly longer than Earth's day. Depending on the particular definition of "day" that is used, two planets have a day that's longer than than that planet's year. They are Mercury (solar day) and Venus (sidereal day).

How many days does mars have in one year?
A Martian year is equal to 1.8809 Earth years (686.971 days), or 1 year, 320 days, and 18.2 hours 12 seconds If you use the Martian day (about 2.7% longer than an Earth day) for your calculation, a Martian year is equal to 668.5991 sols. That means that Mars rotates a little more than 668 times for every revolution around the Sun.
