Mars rotation on its axis
It takes approximately 24.6229 hours for Mars to completely rotate on its axis. Earth's day is exactly 23.9345 hours which means that it takes mars longer to completer its rotation on its axis than Earth. The difference between Earth and Mars' rotational axis is 68 mins and 84 secs. Mars is smaller and, because of its greater distance from the Sun, it is cooler compared to the Earth. It has seasons similar to Earth's because the tilt of its rotational axis to the orbit about the Sun is about the same as Earth's. The orbit means that the seasons on Mars are also affected by changing
