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.

− | 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.

Even the unit "day" is often used to refer to a fixed unit of time nowadays (defined by the SI to be 86 401 s)...I believe this is one of the reasons why the solar day on Mars is referred to as a "sol" instead of a "day".

: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".

Fun fact that might be interesting to add to the note about Arizona and DST. As stated already, the Navajo reservation observes DST, since it extends into Utah and New Mexico. However, the Hopi reservation, which is entirely enclosed by the Navajo reservation, does NOT follow DST. So in the one state in the Mountain Time Zone that does not observe DST, there is a region that follows DST, and inside that is another region that does not follow DST.

:And looking at a [http://cronkitenewsonline.com/2012/03/what-time-is-it-in-arizona-it-depends-on-where-youre-standing/ DST map of Arizona], it appears there is at least one small area contained within that inner-most non-observing region that does observe DST...
