Given an age in seconds, calculate how old someone would be on: | ||
Given an age in seconds, calculate how old someone would be on a planet in our Solar System. | ||
|
||
- Mercury: orbital period 0.2408467 Earth years | ||
- Venus: orbital period 0.61519726 Earth years | ||
- Earth: orbital period 1.0 Earth years, 365.25 Earth days, or 31557600 seconds | ||
- Mars: orbital period 1.8808158 Earth years | ||
- Jupiter: orbital period 11.862615 Earth years | ||
- Saturn: orbital period 29.447498 Earth years | ||
- Uranus: orbital period 84.016846 Earth years | ||
- Neptune: orbital period 164.79132 Earth years | ||
One Earth year equals 365.25 Earth days, or 31,557,600 seconds. | ||
If you were told someone was 1,000,000,000 seconds old, their age would be 31.69 Earth-years. | ||
|
||
So if you were told someone were 1,000,000,000 seconds old, you should | ||
be able to say that they're 31.69 Earth-years old. | ||
For the other planets, you have to account for their orbital period in Earth Years: | ||
|
||
If you're wondering why Pluto didn't make the cut, go watch [this YouTube video][pluto-video]. | ||
| Planet | Orbital period in Earth Years | | ||

~~~~exercism/note | ||
The actual length of one complete orbit of the Earth around the sun is closer to 365.256 days (1 sidereal year). | ||
The Gregorian calendar has, on average, 365.2425 days. | ||
While not entirely accurate, 365.25 is the value used in this exercise. | ||
