Question

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's how we humans express it. How "old" are you on the other eight planets in our solar system? Use the Planet chart (pg 16) to help you.

Answer 1

The question involves a math problem calculating your age on different planets based on Earth years. You divide your Earth age by the orbital period of each planet to find your age on that planet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how old you would be on the other planets in our solar system, given a certain age on Earth. This is a mathematics problem that involves understanding the different lengths of years on the planets of our solar system. To calculate your age on another planet, you would divide your age on Earth by the length of that planet's year relative to Earth's.

For example, if you are 15 years old on Earth, you are roughly 0.79 years old on Mars, since a year on Mars is about 1.88 Earth years. Similarly, you would be approximately 62.5 years on Mercury, as a year on Mercury is only about 88 Earth days. However, without the specific orbital periods of each planet provided, we cannot calculate the precise age on all eight planets.
