So I think every planet should have "local time" that can be used when a scene is taking place on that planet, and then we will have "Universal Time" when outside the planets, on the Outpost, traveling, and whatnot.
How do we know what time it is Universal compared to Local? Wing it. Honestly I don't want details so worried over that it detracts from the game. If you want the scene at night, give it a "PM" time. You want a scene to happen the next morning, give it a morning time.
If we want to get technical then here is a list of how long a year, in earth time, is for each of the planets. What we can do with this... I don't know. I suck at math, but if we really want to we can figure something out. Otherwise I stick by my "wing it" idea because we're all smart enough not to confuse ourselves.
Planetary Calendar Year:
Mercury - 88 (earth) days to a year
Venus - 225 days to a year
Earth - 365 days to a year
Mars - 687 days to a year
Jupiter - 4329 days to a year
Saturn - 10,759 days to a year
Uranus - 30,660 days to a year
Neptune - 60,148 days to a year
Pluto - ....a really long-ass time!
