# Space Age
|
|
|
|
Given an age in seconds, calculate how old someone would be on:
|
|
|
|
- Earth: orbital period 365.25 Earth days, or 31557600 seconds
|
|
- Mercury: orbital period 0.2408467 Earth years
|
|
- Venus: orbital period 0.61519726 Earth years
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|
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.
