Whereas a year on Mars is significantly longer than a year on Earth, the difference between an day on Earth and a Martian day (aka. “Sol”) is not significant. For starters, Mars takes 24 hours 37 minutes and 22 seconds to complete a single rotation on its axis (aka. a sidereal day...
"Let nothing dissuade your Quest for Knowledge. Let none slow your pursuit and acquisition of holy technology. Let no one stand between you and the procurement of that which is rightfully the Machine God's due." —Thusdorius Knoch, Invictus Acquisitor Ma
Mercury’s day/rotation period, this is the reason I did that. For some topics, the sidereal day matters; for others, it’s the solar day that’s important. And for the purposes of the A to Z Challenge, I wanted to save this discussion for S-day, so I just glossed over it ...
The values for the rotation period, the mass, the linear diameter, and the dynamic flattening of Mars obtained from observations enable us to make a model of the internal structure of the planet. It is probable that Mars has a small iron core with a density of about 9.5 g/cm3, in which...

The long axis of Phobos constantly points toward Mars; as with Earth’s Moon, it has a rotational period equal to its orbital period and so keeps the same face to the planet. Britannica Quiz All About Astronomy Mars's moons explained An overview of Phobos and Deimos, the moons of Mars...

Phobos rises in the west, sets in the east, and rises again in just 11 hours. Deimos, being only just outside synchronous orbit—where the orbital period would match the planet's period of rotation—rises as expected in the east but very slowly. Despite the 30 hour orbit of Deimos, it...
