Orbital years · Mercury 88 days, Neptune 165 years

Neptune takes 164.8 Earth years to orbit the Sun, so it has completed exactly one orbit since its discovery in 1846, that anniversary fell in 2011. No human has ever been one Neptunian year old, and nobody ever will be. Mercury is the opposite extreme: a year there is 88 days, so a ten-year-old is already past forty.

A year is one orbit, and orbits vary enormously. Mercury takes 88 Earth days, Mars 687, and Neptune nearly 165 Earth years, so a 36-year-old is 149 on Mercury, 19 on Mars and one fifth of a year old on Neptune.

4 These are orbital years, not day counts.

Days are stranger than years. A day on Venus lasts 243 Earth days; longer than its 225-day year, so a Venusian day is longer than a Venusian year, and the Sun rises in the west because Venus rotates backwards. Mercury has a 3:2 resonance between its rotation and orbit, giving it a solar day of 176 Earth days, or two Mercurian years. Orbital periods are the tidy part of this comparison.
