Known as the red planet , Mars is known as the fourth planet from the sun . It is also one of the planets that can be seen most easily with the naked eye from Earth . Due to the potential of water on its surface and layers , many scientific committees conduct expeditions for research purposes , accompanied by special unmanned vehicles .
Mars is roughly equivalent to Earth in terms of completing one day . While Earth completes a day in 24 hours , Mars completes a day in 24 hours and 40 minutes . Therefore , when you set foot on Mars , there will be no foreignness in terms of day and night time . Because it differs in location , the time it takes for Mars to orbit the Sun is 686 earth days .
In other words , this happens in twice the time of the world . In this direction , as Mars rotates around the sun , it experiences seasons twice as long as the Earth .
