How many hours are in a Mars day?

based on one of your posts about being a cop, pulling someone over, and downgrading him. Then my vote is to ban your A$$.

You do realize that was a parody right? 😉
 
i like google

A year on Mars (i.e. how long it takes for Mars to orbit around the sun) is 687 Earth days, versus Earth?s 365 days per year while a day on Mars is equivalent to 1.026 Earth days.
 
i calculated this using the mass of both planets and the eccentricity of their orbits around the sun once, but i forgot what the answer is...sorry.

Not true. AFAICT, there is no reason that the rate of rotation of a planet (I.E. the time it takes to spin once on it's axis) should have any relation to the time it takes for the planet to revolve around Sol (our star) once.

it can have some effect. if the planet has a moon, the speed of its rotation can be influenced by the barycenter of the rotation of the planet and its satellite. this causes a constantly changing "center of gravity" for the sub-system entirely. this is also the reason stars vibrate when they have orbitting planets IIRC.
 
I thought it was 24 hours and 39 minutes, but maybe it is 27 minutes... I was just listening to something on the rovers and the people who control them.

In his post he never says that the year span has an affect on the day span. Are you on drugs?

You're right. I badly misread that. 😱
