    176 days [4] Venus: −243.0226 days [ii] [5] −243 d 0 h 33 m: −116.75 days [6] Earth: 0.99726968 days [3] [iii] 0 d 23 h 56 m 4.0910 s: 1.00 days (24 h 00 m 00 s) Moon: 27.321661 days [7] (equal to sidereal orbital period due to spin-orbit locking, a sidereal lunar month) 27 d 7 h 43 m 11.5 s: 29.530588 days [7] (equal to synodic orbital ...

  3. Timekeeping on Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timekeeping_on_Mars

    The corresponding values for Earth are currently 23 h 56 m 4.0916 s and 24 h 00 m 00.002 s, respectively, which yields a conversion factor of 1.027 491 2517 Earth days/sol: thus, Mars's solar day is only about 2.75% longer than Earth's; approximately 73 sols pass for every 75 Earth days.

  4. Mars sol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_sol

    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]

  5. Mars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars

    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] The gravitational potential difference and thus the delta-v needed to transfer between Mars and Earth is the second lowest for Earth ...

  6. Sidereal time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_time

    Mercury's sidereal day is about two-thirds of its orbital period, so by the prograde formula its solar day lasts for two revolutions around the Sun – three times as long as its sidereal day. Venus rotates retrograde with a sidereal day lasting about 243.0 Earth days, or about 1.08 times its orbital period of 224.7 Earth days; hence by the ...

  7. Orbital period - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_period

    The Earth's motion does not determine this value for other planets because an Earth observer is not orbited by the moons in question. For example, Deimos's synodic period is 1.2648 days, 0.18% longer than Deimos's sidereal period of 1.2624 d. [citation needed]

  8. List of Solar System objects by size - Wikipedia

    These lists contain the Sun, the planets, dwarf planets, many of the larger small Solar System bodies (which includes the asteroids), all named natural satellites, and a number of smaller objects of historical or scientific interest, such as comets and near-Earth objects. Many trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) have been discovered; in many cases ...
