Would we age differently on different planets?
If we were to live on another planet in the Solar System our age would be different because each planet takes a different amount of time to orbit the Sun. In other words each planet has a different year length. Pluto has been included for historical reasons despite its planetary declassification.
How does the aging work in interstellar?
There’s another wrinkle here worth mentioning: time dilation as a result of gravitational effects. You might have seen Christopher Nolan’s movie Interstellar, where the close proximity of a black hole causes time on another planet to slow down tremendously (one hour on that planet is seven Earth years).
Would you age slower on different planets?
The rate at which you age does not change if you use another solar/planetary standard. Only the time measurement standard changes. For example, if you were on a planet that took 3 earth years to revolve around its sun and you used 1 revolution around its sun as a standard year, you would be 3 years older in earth time.
Would we age slower on Mars?
Mass of Mars is lesser than that of Earth which means the time passes faster there relative to Earth. Hence, you would age faster on Mars relative to Earth.

What is the difference between interplanetary travel and interstellar travel?
Interstellar travel is crewed or uncrewed travel between stars or planetary systems. Interstellar travel will be much more difficult than interplanetary spaceflight; the distances between the planets in the Solar System are less than 30 astronomical units (AU)—whereas the distances between stars are typically…
Will we ever be able to go to interstellar space?
There’s no law of physics that outright forbids it. But that doesn’t necessarily make it easy, and it certainly doesn’t mean we’ll achieve it in our lifetimes, let alone this century. Interstellar space travel is a real pain in the neck. If you’re sufficiently patient, then we’ve already achieved interstellar exploration status.
How long does it take the planets to move around the Sun?
We all learn in grade school that the planets move at differing rates around the sun. While earth takes 365 days to make one circuit, the closest planet, Mercury, takes only 88 days. Poor, ponderous, and distant Pluto takes a whopping 248 years for one revolution. Below is a table with the rotation rates and revolution rates of all the planets.
