How long is a lunch hour on Mars?
An hour you might think? Well, actually...
It turns out that average length of a day on Mars—a "sol"—is approximately 24 hours and 40 minutes. Since this is so close to Earth's 24-hour day, scientists and engineers operating spacecraft on the surface of Mars have found it convenient to think of a sol as consisting of 24 slightly longer "Mars hours", divided into correspondingly longer "Mars minutes" and "Mars seconds".
