Sol (borrowed from the Latin word for sun) is a solar day on Mars; that is, a Mars-day. A sol is the apparent interval between two successive returns of the Sun to the same meridian (sundial time) as seen by an observer on Mars. It is one of several units for timekeeping on Mars. A sol is slightly longer than an Earth day.
Mars Perseverance Sol 14: Left Navigation Camera (Navcam) NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its onboard Left Navigation Camera (Navcam). The camera is located high on the rover’s mast and aids in driving. These images were acquired on Mar. 5, 2021 (Sol 14) at the local mean solar time of 14:52:51.
Mars Perseverance Sol 44: Right Navigation Camera (Navcam) NASA’s Mars Perseverance rover acquired these images using its onboard Right Navigation Camera (Navcam). The camera is located high on the rover’s mast and aids in driving. These images were acquired on Apr. 4, 2021 (Sol 44) at the local mean solar time of 14:02:08.
English: This panorama of Jezero crater on Mars concatenates five images subsequently acquired by the left navigation camera on March 29, 2021 at the local mean solar time between 16:20:08 and 16:21:07, soon after NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was extended vertically into place after being rotated outward from its horizontal position on the belly of the Perseverance rover.
The rover used its Mastcam instrument to capture the area on the 4,352 Martian day of the pioneering mission. Images of the area from NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter had shown light-colored ...
First color image compiled from images by Spirit; it was the highest resolution color image taken on another planet. On May 1, 2009 (sol 1892), the rover became stuck in soft sand, the machine resting upon a cache of iron(III) sulfate hidden under a veneer of normal-looking soil. Iron sulfate has very little cohesion, making it difficult for ...

A few days after landing, Perseverance released the first audio recorded on the surface of Mars, capturing the sound of Martian wind. [88] [89] During its travels on Mars, NASA scientists had observed around Sol 341 (February 4, 2022) that a small rock had dropped into one of its wheels while the rover was studying the Máaz rock formation.
