Since each planet in our solar system takes a different amount of time to rotate around the sun, does this mean we would age differently on another planet?

For example: If a baby were born today and lived for 40 Earth years, could they have possiably lived longer if they had been born on the Planet Neptune?

Here is a better explaination of my question:
Theorecitcally , If the same baby could be born today on Earth as well as on Neptune, would there be a difference in life span based upon the specific planets day/night cycle?

Above is the link. Apparently these clouds had been seen before by the Voyagers, though this is the first I've heard of them. I thought straight lines were rare in nature, especially in clouds, and how has it lasted so long? I'm not saying it's extraterrestrials or anything, but I am perplexed.

How big are they? And if not even light can escape from it, where does it go? Does it fill up? What happens when it's full?

Helium gas is pumped into a baloon which makes the ballon ascend,rigth?is it the pressure of the gas that determines the force with which it ascends or the size of the ballon?how can the force of the ascent be calculated?because if we can balance the force with that of an attached object, we might be able to suspend the object. Also can the gas do the same in order object?if the answers are yes we might be achieving a great level of "gravity manuver"

Does light bend because of black holes? Do they consume light as well?

It takes the earth 1.0 years to travel around the sun. It takes Venus 0.615 years to orbit the sun. If the planets are in a straight line with the sun now, how long will it be before this is the case again? The answer must be accurate to the nearest hundredth of a year. (Note: Assume that the orbital planes of all the planets are the same.)

Just like in Star Trek the movie, will we be able to travel faster than the speed of light one day? If we wanted to travel the universe and visit other planets then we would have to travel faster than the speed of light because we would not be able to make it in one's life span if we traveled that fast to the best of my understanding. We are going to need to find a planet one day to sustain human beings where our earth is already strained of it's natural resources and we will need to find another place to live. So my question remains, can one travel faster than the speed of light and if so then how long would it take to leave our universe and possibly find another planet? Albert Einstein's theory is that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light but Albert Einstein was wrong on some things in his life and I wonder if one day we can travel that fast.

Answer is not intended to be absolute accurate. It can use estimation through your info. Does the hydrogen fuel take something like 3 quaters of a spaceship's weight. And would this hydrongen fuel spaceship take couple of months to get to Mars.

So I've heard that black holes eject matter, but they also consume matter, does this mean they consume the matter they eject?

Scientists now believe that the moon is older than the earth and that our planet once existed w/o a moon, they now also believe that the moon is hollow and there are a number of other anomalies like the fact that the moon appears to be the same size as the sun (and yes i know why that is so don't explain it and then call me stupid for not explaining it) which nothing else in our solar system does. there is no evidence that the moon came from the earth as once believed

When a NASA rocket takes off- does it emit Co2?

Me and a friend are figthing over this, he thinks it doesn't, but I think it does.
It has nothing to do with the fact that I am both a tree hugger and a strong HATER of space travel.

OK, so I need more confirmation on this than anyhting...When we look up at the sun (ok kids thats not a smart thing to do) we see a time variance of 7 mins cause I guess its 7 light minutes away, but if you had a planet 30,000,000 light years away and we could see it, we wouldn't see the up to the second status of things right?....we'd see how the planet was 30,000,000 yrs ago....or does a telescope compensate for that somehow....

in a reactor element 115 is combined with a proton. the proton interacts w/ the nucleus of the element 115 atom to become element 116. this immediately decays and becomes small amounts of anti-matter which is pure energy that then propels the craft. i've done the research and this is possible-problem is element 115 is extremely rare on earth-but could it really be that simple?

Why are space ships black and white? I doubt it was just because they liked the colors, there must have been a reason!

Surely technological advancements would have made it easier/ cheaper/ quicker...
