Units of time on Mars

[piotrstenke]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. So, there's this friend rover of mine. Not so long ago, we used to hang out together almost every single day, but since it got delegated to a new mission on Mars, we started to loose touch. Every time I attempt to organize a Zoom call at a specific hour (say 2 o'clock), my friend doesn't show up. It turns out that time on Mars is different than that on Earth! Well, what do you know! Relocating to another planet really does move you apart!

Thus comes my suggestion to include Martian time units - the Sol (a.k.a. a Mars-day), Mars-year, Mars-minute and Mars-second. Including only the Sol is also plausible, as this is the most common unit of all mentioned here.

Though not an official unit, Sols are used by multiple space agencies, including both NASA and ESA.

Describe the solution you'd like Include the Sol (or all mentioned units) as units of Duration.

Describe alternatives you've considered End friendship with my friend rover. :(
