The Mars time of noon is 12:00 which is in Earth time 12 hours and 20 minutes after midnight.

The average duration of the day-night cycle on Mars — i.e., a Martian day — is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35.244 seconds, [3] equivalent to 1.02749125 Earth days. [4] The sidereal rotational period of Mars—its rotation compared to the fixed stars—is 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.66 seconds. [4]

This is a category for any video game where the player controls actions taking place, at least partially, on Mars. The action must take place on the surface Mars itself, not simply in orbit above Mars.

In real-time games, time within the game passes ...
Focusing on pet health has helped Mars, which in 1994 produced annual sales of $13 billion and was bleeding money, Fortune reported at the time. Since entering the vet space, revenue has soared 284%.
Mars's average distance from the Sun is roughly 230 million km (143 million mi), and its orbital period is 687 (Earth) days. The solar day (or sol) on Mars is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds. [185] A Martian year is equal to 1.8809 Earth years, or 1 year, 320 days, and 18.2 hours. [2]
[27] [115] Mars has also made frequent appearances in video games; examples include the 2001 game Red Faction which is set on Mars and the 2014 game Destiny where Mars is an unlockable setting. [42] In addition, Mars continues to make regular appearances in stories where it is not the main focus, such as Joe Haldeman's 2008 novel Marsbound.
