Earth would still exist and there would still be people on it. For them, a year would remain the length of time it takes for Earth to go around the sun, and a day would remain the time it takes for Earth to spin once. They would no doubt communicate with people on Mars to describe how many "years" old people were and how many "years" in duration things were. It would only be confusing for a Mars resident to say he was 24 years old when in reality he is about double that number of years old. He's 24 annos old and 48 years old. The same applies to days.
