24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.7 seconds. That's 1.025957 Earth days.

Coincidentally, a day on Mars is very close to a day on Earth, at just over half an hour longer. It's the closest to Earth's day of any planet in the Solar System.

Trivia

  • One day on Mars is called a "sol".
  • Staff at NASA who work remotely with robotic rovers on Mars sometimes adopt the sol as their day, so they are using the same day as the rover.
