How long is an hour on Mars if a day is equivalent to two weeks on Earth? (Approx value)
- A.
16 Earth Hours
- B.
15 Earth Hours
- C.
20 Earth Hours
- D.
14 Earth hours
Correct Answer
D. 14 Earth hoursExplanation
On Mars, a day is equivalent to two weeks on Earth. Therefore, if we divide 24 hours (a day on Earth) by 2, we get 12 hours. This means that a day on Mars is 12 hours long. Since the question asks for the length of an hour on Mars, we divide 12 hours (a Martian day) by 24 (an Earth day) to get 0.5. Therefore, an hour on Mars is 0.5 Earth hours. However, none of the given options match this calculation, so the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:
