- Earth time should be your local time.
- Mars time is measured in SOLs.
- 1 SOL is a Martian day, and is 24 hours, 38 minutes, and 22 seconds long (in Earth time).
- A Martian day has 24 Martian hours.
- A Martian hour has 60 Martian minutes.
- A Martian minute has 60 Martian seconds.
-
The SOL count is the number of Martian days measured from the Mars local midnight just before
the Pathfinder landed on July 4, 1997.
-
Mars local time is based on the position of the Sun in the sky over the Pathfinder site at
19.22° N latitude, 326.59° E longitude.
- The source code for the applet can be found here.
