How Old Are You On Mars?

Post by **jones jones** » Tue Aug 05, 2008 10:32 pm

Just a bit of fun for a Wednesday in August 2008 ...

Your birthday is actually a celebration of a trip made by Earth around the Sun one time. For each trip around our star we "age" one year... or at least that is how we humans express it.

How "old" are you on the other eight planets in our solar system

For the terrestrial planets, divide your age in Earth days by the number of Earth days in a planet's year. The answer is your "new" age.

Example for Mercury - for a person 20 years old on Earth:

20 x 365 = 7300 Earth days old

7300 / 88 (Earth days in Mercury's year) = 83

The 20 Earth-year-old person would be 83 years old on Mercury!

For the outer planets, find the number of Earth days in each planet's year. Then divide your age in days by the number of Earth days in that planet's year. The answer is your "new" age.

Example for Jupiter - for a person 20 years old on Earth:

20 x 365 = 7300 Earth days old

12 Earth years x 365 Earth days/year = 4380 Earth days in one Jupiter year.

7300 / 4380 = 1.7

The 20 Earth-year-old person would be 1.7 years old on Jupiter!

"New" Age Chart

Terrestrial Planets Approximate length of year:

Mercury 88 Earth days

Venus 225 Earth days

Earth 365 Earth days

Mars 687 Earth days

Outer Planets Approximate length of year:

Jupiter 12 Earth years

Saturn 29.5 Earth years

Uranus 84 Earth years

Neptune 165 Earth years

Pluto 248 Earth years

I don't think I did the math right. Hell, it's 5:45am here. I can't think at that hour.

Uranus does sound interesting, but you'll have to go by yourself there, it sounds to uncomfortable for me. :wah::wah:
