Question

12. A year on any planet is the number of days it takes for the planet to complete

one orbit around the Sun. It takes 365 days for Earth. It takes 365 days for the
Earth to revolve around the Sun, so on Earth a year is 365 days. How old are
you in Mars-years?

Step 1: Calculate how many Earth days old you are.

Step 2: Divide that number the number of days it takes Mars to complete an orbit.

Step 3: Explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer: Well, 365 days is about how long it takes for Earth to orbit all the way around the Sun one time. It's not exactly this simple though. An Earth year is actually about 365 days, plus approximately 6 hours.
