Is 4180 how many days it's been "up" there?

If so, is that Earth days or Mars days?

Mars Days, but a Mars day is a little longer than Earth days. It's about 40 minutes longer.

So today in Gale crater it is currently Sol 4182.... That's 4297 earth days since the rover landed on August 6, 2012. Or 11 years, 9 months, 6 days including the landing date :)

Sol 4180 implies it's mars days I guess that's how long it's up there but I'm too lazy to check
