Consider that your age is different on different worlds (or planets). Notice that your age in "days" varies wildly..

So we have to think of how we define the time intervals we measure. What is a day? What is a year?

Simple... we (on Earth) define a day by the time it takes the Earth to make 1 revolution. We define a year by the time that it takes the Earth to make 1 orbit around the sun.

I am exactly 31 years old today on Earth (happy birthday to me!). So taking into account the orbital periods of the following planets... on Mars I am 16.47 years old. On Mercury I am 128.62 years old. On Venus I am 50.36 years old. And let's go all the way out to Neptune... where I would only be 0.188 years old today!

If we counted time as we do here on Earth...it would vary from planet to planet. I guess you would need to come up with some universal time meter. Consider you & I are twins..tho on different planes, I here on Earth would be 30 and you on Centauri 5 would be 132 years old.

One day is one revolution of the planet you are on. One year of that planet will the number of days that planet takes to orbit it's parent star. In the case of Venus, it's day is the equivelent of 243 Earth days but it's year is 224 Earth days - it's day is longer than it's year - baffling eh?

Although this would mean you'd live for many more Venus years compared to Earth years - there's also the Earth equivilent - which means you're no younger or older than you would be on Earth.

The same amount of actual time since the time of your birth would have passed. You would be the same age. You may convert your Earth age to your PlanetX age, but it's still the same. Much like a distance in inches would be the same length as the distance in centimeters.

For instance what if you lived on the moon for a year. You might of aged quicker than people on earth by a couple hours... Just a guess.

Your biological age would be exactly the same on another planet, or anywhere else in the universe.

No, my age is the same. How I might measure my age could be different.

It depends on the length of the sidereal year of the planet I was on!
