I agree that it would be closed for 39 (and a bit) minutes a day if it was open for exactly 24 hours. I think Randall made a mistake.

β | The parts in the description that talk about mixing "Earth and Mars time units" and "Mars-hours" don't make sense; I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a Mars-hour. Despite the classical definition of an hour (which has since been replaced), an hour is defined as a number of seconds, and seconds are an SI unit based on the characteristics of Caesium-133 atoms...NOT defined as being a fixed fraction of a day. Even the unit "day" is often used to refer to a fixed unit of time nowadays (defined by the SI to be 86 | + | The parts in the description that talk about mixing "Earth and Mars time units" and "Mars-hours" don't make sense; I'm pretty sure there's no such thing as a Mars-hour.

:Nitpicking a bit, but the day is usually only 86400 seconds long (see [[1481]]). | :Nitpicking a bit, but the day is usually only 86400 seconds long (see [[1481]]). | ||

:NASA's Mars Mission do divide the "sol" into 24 "Hours". I thought about adding this as a clarification the the Mars-Hours but that made the sentence somewhat unwieldy.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.216|141.101.107.216]] 09:27, 18 April 2017 (UTC) | :NASA's Mars Mission do divide the "sol" into 24 "Hours".
