On average, a martian day is about 1 day and 40 minutes (using the Earth Day as a point of reference). The reason this is so close, is Mars has a very similar tilt to the earth.
From here on out, assume when I say day, hour, etc., I'm talking about using earth as the reference.
1 day = 24 hours
1 hour = 60 minutes
Convert the 40 minutes to hours (using the conversion factors I listed above):
40 minutes x (1 hour / 60 minutes ) = 4/6 hours = 2/3 hour
We know one day is 24 hours just looking at the other conversion factor, so just add the two up, and you have your answer:
24 hours + 2/3 hour ~= 24.667 hours
The answer is an average mars day has 24.667 hours, from the perspective of earth.

How many days on mars equal 1 earth day?
I will compare the Martian "Sol" (the Mars solar day) with the solar day on Earth. The Sol is about 39 minutes and 35 seconds longer than Earth's solar day of 24 hours. Thus, the answer is: about 0.9732 days on Mars equals 1 Earth day.
How long does a year lasts on Mars?
