How long does it take mars to axis? It takes any planet one day to rotate on its axis. A Martian day is only slightly longer than an Earth day: 24 hrs. 39 mins. 35 secs.
2. Divide the number of seconds by 60 to convert seconds to minutes. Every 60 seconds a full minute has passed. Dividing a number tells you how many times one number fits in the other.
The simplest way to convert a time to a number of minutes is to multiply the time by 1440, which is equal to 24*60 (the number of minutes in one day): For the time 02:30:30, the formula in cell B2 of the above spreadsheet returns the value 150.5. I.e. 2 hours 30 minutes and 30 seconds is equal to 150.5 minutes. (The reason that this method works is because Excel times are internally stored as decimal values, with the value 1.0 used to represent 24 hours, and therefore, the value 1/1440 used to represent 1 minute).
