Question

If a day on Mars is 9.98 x 10^4 sec long, how many earth days are in a Mars' day?

Answer 1

Use the next convertion factors:

60 seconds are equal to 1 minute

60 minute are equal to 1 hour

24 hours are equal to 1 day in earth

`9.98*10^4s\cdot(1\min)/(60s)\cdot(1h)/(60\min)\cdot\frac{1\text{day}}{24h}\approx1.15\text{day}`

Then, there are approximately 1.15 earth days in a Mar's day
