Your Age on Other Planets

If my 10 year old lived on Mercury, he'd be 42 years old now.  If we lived on Mars, he'd only be 5.  What a difference! Cool!

If George Washington were alive today, he'd be 275 years old on Earth, 1,143 years old on Mercury and only 1 year old on Pluto!

In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.  That was only 2 years ago on Pluto!  Wow!

The Civil War began 146 Earth years ago.  On Mercury it was 607 years ago and on Pluto it was only half a year ago.  Time surely does go slow there.

The oldest living American is 114 years old here on Earth.  If she lived on Mercury, she'd be 474 years old and if she lived on Pluto, she'd be almost a half a year old.

Your Weight on Other Planets

At 71 pounds on Earth, he'd be only 11 pounds on the Moon and 170 pounds on Jupiter but he'd weigh 1,922 pounds on the Sun!!!

A new born baby weighing 8 pounds on Earth, would weigh 216 pounds on the Sun!!
