It might be hard to tell, but one of these clocks is slower than the
other...
When humans start living on Mars, we'll have to create our own system to
adjust to the slightly different length of day.
On earth a day is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds long.
However, on Mars, a sol (one rotation) is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35
seconds long.
Would it feel like we have extra time, or would we adapt quickly and
forget?
Would we have extra long weekends or extra long seconds?
The more difficult adjustment might be the Martian year, however.
At 669 sols, 687 equivalent Earth days, will we have extra long
months or just twice as many?
