To calculate the time on Mars, we aligned the Martian epoch with Earth’s epoch, beginning on Monday, January 1, 0000. The Martian year spans 687 days and follows a Duodecimal structure, consisting of 12 months. Each month is 57 days long, but every 4th month receives an additional day, totaling 58 days. This adjustment was made for symmetry within the calendar.

The Martian clock follows the Sexagesimal system for minutes and hours, with the ‘second’ being a Hexasecond. However, the Hexasecond is based on Martian Time primacy, making it 1.0275 times longer than the Earth Hexasecond. The Martian day, or Tetravigesimal day, is composed of 24 hours, similar to Earth’s day structure.
