How to keep time on Mars: Clocks on the red planet would tick a bit differently than those on Earth
The question “What time is it on Mars?” is far more complicated than you might expect. That’s because the passing of time is ...

Einstein was right: Time ticks faster on Mars, posing new challenges for future missions
Clocks on Mars tick faster by about 477 microseconds each Earth day, a new study suggests. This difference is significantly ...
On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab.
Gravity and motion make time pass faster on Mars than Earth, reshaping navigation, communication, and future crewed missions.
This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker the gravity, the faster time passes. Mars’s surface gravity is a weakling, ...

Study explains how Mars’ gravity subtly influences Earth’s long-term climate cycles through orbital changes
The idea that Mars could affect Earth’s climate sounds dramatic, since climate change is usually linked to cars, factories, ...
The Earth's climate has been changing for millions of years under the influence of the gravity of neighboring planets. A new ...
Summary: Time doesn’t flow uniformly across the solar system, and new research reveals just how differently it unfolds on Mars compared with Earth. By tracing subtle gravitational and orbital ...
Even worse, the orbit of Mars is elliptical (think of a slight oval rather than a perfect circle), which means that sometimes ...
A new study reveals how specialized microbes might convert Martian regolith into durable, life-supporting structures. Since ...
