As on Earth, on Mars there is also an equation of time that represents the difference between sundial time and uniform (clock) time. The equation of time is illustrated by an analemma. Because of orbital eccentricity, the length of the solar day is not quite constant.
The time at longitude 0 is called Mars Coordinated Time (MTC), just like Earth's UTC. All of the mission clocks displayed above calculate the Local Mean Solar Time of the mission based on their longitude.
23:58:41 +00:00. Martian Time in Current Timezone. There are 25 timezones on Mars which are denoted using numbers 0-24.
15 maj 2023 · Following the long-standing practice originally adopted in 1976 by the Viking Lander missions, the daily variation of Mars solar time is reckoned in terms of a 24 Mars-hour clock, representing a 24-part division of the planet's solar day, along with the traditional sexagesimal subdivisions of 60 minutes and 60 seconds.
