Time is relative , so it is not possible to know. Additionally--and this is very weird but true- it is not possible for it to be Exactly the same time at two distant locations. The distance between the locations does not account for it either. Say you have four planets scattered at random around the universe. To an observer on planet C it may appear to be 3500 in the past on planet A and 60,000 years in the future on planet B. BUT to an observer on planet D those times may appear reversed. And again --the number of miles or light-years between the planets does not account for the discrepancy. Strange but true.

Time on Mars is not calculated being sitting here, go and work hard to reach on Mars, when u go u can see the difference very clear. Have a nice day. Take care. Bye

Hi Lolly
What's the time on Mars?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many a good astronomy computer program will tell you where the planet Mars is in its orbit around the Sun. The length and phase of the Martian year are available easily. But what about the time of day? If you wanted to know what time it is at Olympus Mons for example, how would you find out, short of going there and setting up a sundial? The length of the Martian day is easy to find out (24 hours 39 minutes and 35.2 seconds), but what is the PHASE? Ie what time is it at a particular geographical (Is that the right word?) location? Also, why is it so difficult to find out when it's scientifically known?

That would depend on where you are on mars, and what time of the day it is. It is every time at once on Mars, just as it is every time at once here, due to time zones. Mars's day is slightly longer than ours, so it has a thirteen o'clock.

This is an excellent question. There are several ways of keeping time on Mars. Check out the website:

Timeis a matter of location, but we havent given mars that kind of zoning yet, so i guess it's time to do it.

there is no time on mars

That is a complicated answer. Are you wanting the time based on when MER-A or MER-B landed, or LTST or LMST? I think the location (similar to earth) would also effect the time.
