Calculate your age on other planets!!

Hi kids!

As promised, Here are the instructions to calculate your age on the planets of our solar system. It also includes how to get your age on Pluto, even if it's no longer considered a planet of our solar system.

Enjoy!


Instructions:

Use the table below and a calculator to determine your age on a particular planet. If you were exactly 12 years old, that’s 4 380 days (12 x 365). It would also mean that today would be your birthday. If, however, you lived on Mercury and had a birthday every 88 days then you would be nearly 50 years old (4 380 ÷ 88 = 49.77).

What you need

• Calculator

What to do

• Calculate your exact age in days: ( Multiply your age times  365.25)

I am ________________ days old (D) today _____/_____/_____(date)

Planet

Time to orbit Sun

On this planet I am this many years old:

* Mercury: divide your age in days by 88


* Venus: divide your age in days by 225


Mars: divide your age in days by 687

Jupiter: your age in days / ( 11.8 x 365.25)

Saturn: your age in days / ( 29.4 x 365.25)


Uranus: your age in days / ( 84 x 365.25)


Neptune: your age in days / ( 164 x 365.25)


Pluto (dwarf planet): your age in days / ( 248 x 365.25)
