One day on Mars — which scientists refer to as the solar day, or “sol” — is 37 minutes longer than a day on Earth. This means that our Earthling circadian rhythms don’t match the red planet’s rotational speed. A team of European scientists recently demonstrated why that could be a problem.
Mars
A day on Mars is slightly longer than a day on Earth, lasting about 24 hours and 37 minutes. This is because Mars takes longer to complete one full rotation on its axis.
Longer. A day on Mars is around 39 minutes longer than a day on Earth, and it also takes Mars 668 days to make one trip around the sun (which means that seasons on Mars are also nearly twice as long as seasons on Earth are).
Mars, with a revolution period of 24 hours and 38 minutes.
It depends on where Earth and Mars are in their orbits. Since Mars takes longer to orbit the sun than Earth does the distance between the two planets varies considerably. When Earth and Mars are closest a beam of light will take about 4 minutes to reach Mars from Earth. When they are farthest (on opposite sides of the sun) a bean of light would take about 12 minutes.

A day on Mars is slightly longer, about 24.62 Earth hours (24 hours, 37 minutes).
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.
The rotational period (sidereal day) on Mars is slightly longer than Earth's, about 24.62 Earth hours. This is about 24 hours, 37 minutes, 22 seconds. The "solar day" (noon to noon) on Mars is slightly longer, about 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35 seconds.
A day on Mars is slightly longer than a day on Earth, lasting about 24 hours and 37 minutes. This is because Mars takes longer to complete one full rotation on its axis.
Mars has a day slightly over 39 minutes longer than Earth's.
a day on mars is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds compared to earth.
A day on Mars is not much longer at all than on Earth. It takes 24 hours and 40 minutes for a day to pass on Mars.
Longer. A day on Mars is around 39 minutes longer than a day on Earth, and it also takes Mars 668 days to make one trip around the sun (which means that seasons on Mars are also nearly twice as long as seasons on Earth are).
24.66 hours. This makes a day on Mars 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than a day on Earth.
Yes. A Martian day is about 40 minutes longer than an Earth day.
About one. Mars rotates in about 24 hours and 37 minutes.
