Age on Planets

Calculate Your Age on Different Planets

Why do planets have different orbiting periods?

Planets have different orbiting periods due to their varying distances from the Sun and the gravitational forces at play. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to complete one orbit, resulting in a longer year.

Facts about age on different planets:

Your age on different planets varies due to the length of each planet's year. For example, a year on Jupiter takes about 11.9 Earth years, so you'd be younger on Jupiter. Conversely, a year on Mercury takes just 88 Earth days, so you'd be older on Mercury!
