How this page works it out
This page divides the calendar days between two Gregorian dates by a mean sidereal year. From 2000, 1, 1 to 2026, 1, 1 is 9497 days, which is 13.8 on Mars. The same span divided by the Earth period of 365.256 days is 26.0, and Mercury is 108.0. The periods in Earth days are Mercury 87.969, Venus 224.701, Earth 365.256, Mars 686.980, Jupiter 4332.589, Saturn 10759.22, Uranus 30685.4, and Neptune 60189.
From 2000, 1, 1 to 2000, 12, 31 is 365 days and the Earth line is 1.0. A birthday age is still 0, so the Earth line is not a birthday count. The same date is 0.0. If the second date is earlier, the page stops.
Uranus and Neptune were not part of the old weekday set. The figure is a ratio of days, not time lived on that planet. It stays in this browser, and closing the tab clears the dates. Nothing is sent to a server.
