If you mean, as opposed to the observed 24 hours of day, Earth's real rotation is every 23 hours 56 minutes, approximately; but since during its rotation it moves around the Sun, Earth has to move around a bit more than one full rotation to catch up with the changed position of the Sun, i.e., until the Sun is overhead again in a certain place.

Which planet has a shorter rotation time Earth or Mars How many hours and minutes less?

The Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the sun and once every 23 hours 56 minutes and 4 seconds with respect to the stars (see below). Mars rotation is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35 seconds if you are interested in the solar day or 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22 seconds for the sidereal day. Since the planet only rotates about 40 minutes slower than Earth, this is one category where the two planets are not very different.

What do minutes and seconds have to do with longitude and latitude?

Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, each of which is divided into 60 seconds - as for angles in a circle. This can cause confusion since the minutes and seconds do not correspond to their use in measuring time.The earth rotates through 360 degrees in 24 hours. This means that the earth rotates 1 degree = 60 minutes (angle) in 4 minutes (time).Hope I got that last bit right!
