because mars is quite close to the sun and it rotates to;so it allows there to be day and night on mars:)

hope i helped

Edit: Mars has a solar day (24 hours on Earth) of about 24 hours and 39 minutes. If night and daytime were of equal length that would give a night of

about 12 hours and 20 minutes.

However there's a lot of variation, just as there is on Earth. It depends on the

seasons and the latitude mainly. Mars is quite like Earth in its axial tilt, but its "year" is nearly twice as long. So the seasons will be similar, but longer.

The amount of daytime and night varies with latitude and with the seasons.

However, averaged out over a full Martian "year", almost everywhere will have equal daylight and night.

That should be half of the length of the "solar" day.

Mars has a solar day of 24 hours 39 minutes and 35 seconds.

So, on average, the length of day and night on Mars is about:

12 hours and 20 minutes.

The length of a night on the planet Mars is about the same as a night on Earth. A full day on Mars is about 24 hours and 40 minutes. A night would last about 12 hours on Mars.

Mars is 24 hours, 39 minutes and 35 seconds; amazingly similar to a day on Earth. Of course theres the extra 39:35 min hope this helps. PS. A Martian day is about 2.7% longer than Earth's.

Around 24(earth hours) a day and 25(earth hours) a night. So it will take 49(earth hours); that's 2 days and an hour for a (full mars day)
