how do you find out how old you are on another star or planet?

please tell me about age on a star- it is more important.

can you do it by knowing how many light years away it is from earth?

  1. This is a good website about how much you'll weigh on other planets.

    But, I don't the star ones, sorry.


  2. What do you mean, "how old you are on a star?"

    That makes absolutely no sense. I supposed you could find your age on another planet by comparing the orbit length, but that wouldn't work for stars.

  3. If a planet like Earth went around it's star 700 times since the day you were born, you'd be 700 years old. If a star (and accompanying solar system) went around the center of the galaxy 700 times since the day you were born, you'd be 700. Get it?

  4. On another planet, time would still pass at the same rate.  (Although some evidence suggests that gravity and speed have influence on time, I will throw those out for the sake of keeping this simple, and only answering the question).

    A "year" on Mercury, is approximately 88 earth days.  So, you would live through approximately 4 Mercurian years in the equivalent of 1 on earth.  But you would not age faster.  Even though the planet you are on is completing an orbit 4x faster than on earth, you would still be the same age as if you were to stay on earth.  

  5. You are the age you are no matter what star or planet or fantasy you are livin' in!  Do you want to know about stars and their age, classification, or what exactly are you trying to ask?  When they say a star is x amount of light years away that means that light takes x amount of years to travel to you once it leaves the star.  So the light you see from a star is as old as the x amount of light years it is away.  Like the sun is just over 8 light minutes away, which means that light actually takes a little over 8 minutes to reach earth once it leaves the sun.  So you see the sun as it was 8 minutes and 20 seconds ago in to the past.  Does this help?

  6. i think star is revolutions around the center of the galaxy so it would make you some.000000000000000000865 years old or some random minute number like that.

  7. You need to know how fast the planet revolves around it's "sun". By doing a simple comparison equation you work out how many earth years fit in that planet years or vise versa. If there is more earth years, you divide your age with that number. If there is more planet years, you multiply your age with that number.

  8. You cannot measure your age based on a star. It is impossible for life to exist on a star.  For your age on any planet, compare the orbital rate to that of the earth and divide by your IQ, which in your case would be zero.

  9. well basically time influeces the same in other planets..

    when you say that you 200 years in a planet it doesn't mean that your 200 in earth,so it's only typical

    -IF YOU WANT TO LEARN how old are you in,for example Marsh, you have to know in how many days Marsh does a full circle round sun...I think that Marsh does it in about 100 to 200 days...so, one year in Marsh is 100-200 days..if a planet has 100 as one year,if your 30 years in earth ( 30x365/100) then your 109,5 years old in this planet!!!

  10. To find out how old you are, you need to know about the gravitational field. It is a proven fact, through Einstein's theory or relativity, that time passes slower the more gravity there is. If there is a planet with more gravitation pull on you than here, you would be older on that planet.
