Physicists at NIST have calculated that clocks on Mars will tick approximately 477 microseconds faster per day than clocks on Earth. This difference, influenced by Mars' weaker gravity and its orbital variations, is crucial for future space navigation and communication systems. The research, published in The Astronomical Journal, also deepens our understanding of Einstein's theories of relativity. AI
