The Science of Planetary Years
A planetary year is the time it takes for a celestial body to complete one full orbit around the Sun. This is known as the sidereal orbital period. Earth's year is approximately 365.256 days, but every other world in our solar system follows its own rhythm.
Our calculations use accurate, up-to-date values from NASA and JPL missions. The periods follow Kepler's Third Law — planets farther from the Sun take much longer to orbit.
| Planet | Orbital Period (Earth Years) | Approximate Days |
|---|---|---|
| Mercury | 0.2408 | 88 |
| Venus | 0.6152 | 225 |
| Mars | 1.8808 | 687 |
| Jupiter | 11.8626 | 4,333 |
| Saturn | 29.4475 | 10,759 |
| Uranus | 84.0168 | 30,689 |
| Neptune | 164.7913 | 60,182 |
| Pluto | 248.09 | 90,560 |
Formula: Planetary Age = Earth Age ÷ Orbital Period (in Earth years)
Interesting Orbital Facts
- A 30-year-old on Earth is already **124.6 years old** on fast-moving Mercury!
- The same person is only **2.5 years old** on Jupiter and **0.18 years old** on Neptune.
- Neptune has completed just **one full orbit** since its discovery in 1846 (first orbit completed in 2011).
- Pluto's year is so long that humanity has not yet witnessed even one complete Plutonian year since its discovery.
- Inner planets race around the Sun at high speeds — Mercury reaches ~48 km/s, while Neptune travels at only ~5.4 km/s.

Exploring Time Beyond Our Solar System
While this tool focuses on our solar system, imagine living on an exoplanet with a 1.1-day orbit — you'd experience thousands of "years" in a single human lifetime! Future updates may include famous exoplanets.
