Awesome collection. Review some of them for us......
Except that a year is not simply a collection of 12 months. Nor is a month simply 1/12th of a year. A day is based on the revolution of a planet on its axis, a year is one revolution around the sun. A month, conversely, is originally based on one complete lunar cycle (new moon to new moon). Additionally we find that problem of deciding which moon to base the Jupiter Month.
All of which is moot, since one Earth month, on any other planet, is still the same amount of time. On Jupiter, you would have 73.6 days (rising and setting suns) wto enjoy with all those smokes.

Castaway said:Yes, but a Jupiter YEAR is equal to 12 earth years. So, a Jupiter MONTH is equal to ONE EARTH YEAR.
