Researchers Determine How Much Faster Time Moves on Mars

Planetary Science, Space & Environment /

A study by two physicists at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) found that, on average, clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than those on Earth. Although this time difference remains extremely small, it can significantly impact efforts to synchronize clocks precisely between Earth, the Moon, and Mars.
