Length of a year on the planets of our Solar System
The length of a year depends on how long it takes for the planet to orbit our sun. Since every planet takes a different amount of time to orbit-the year's length is different on each one. Of course it doesn't mean we age differently due to a year's length. It just means that we describe our age differently. For example, every year ion Jupiter would equal twelve of ours because that's how long one Jupiter orbit is. Which means that a twenty-four year old person there would be two Jupiter years old and a forty-eight year old, would describe himself as being four Jupiter-years old. The farther the planet is from the sun, the slower it orbits it, and the longer it takes to cover the greater orbital circumference. On Uranus, one year equals 29 Earth years. So a twenty-nine year-old on Earth would be a one-year-old on Uranus.
