One Year on Uranus Is 84 Years on Earth

[Tedday2223]

It takes Earth around 365 days to complete a trip around the sun, which is why a year on our planet lasts for that many days. However, over on Uranus, which is a lot of farther away from our star and follows a wider path around it, a single orbit takes 84 years. That means one year on Uranus lasts for nearly a century on Earth. ​

Isn't it fascinating how different planets experience time? While Earth takes around 365 days to orbit the sun, Uranus is much farther out and takes a whopping 84 Earth years to complete one trip around our star. Imagine celebrating your first birthday at 84! It’s amazing to think about how time varies so much across our solar system. What other fun space facts have you come across?

It's crazy to think that if we live on Uranus, some of us might not last a year there if we already die even before we turn 84.

Hi all! I think that’s mind-blowing! Imagine celebrating your first birthday on Uranus when you're already 84 on Earth!
