Grammatically correct?
That means seasons on Mars are about twice as long as they are on Earth.
I think the underlined 'they' means 'seasons on Mars'. So, in turn, the sentence above means "That means seasons on Mars are about twice as long as seasons on Mars are on Earth. But the writer who made the sensence says pronounce 'they' can mean only the word without any qualilfier that is used before. I think that instead of 'they, 'those' is more correct. But what I want to know is what the writer explained about the usege of 'they' is right or wrong.
