A year for Mercury is shorter. It takes 88 days to orbit the sun, making one year on mercury about 3 earth months long.

How old would a twelve year old person would be in mercury?

To get to Mercury you have to wait for 10,000 years to get there, so it would be 10,000 plus 12 22,000 is gonna be your age when you arrive, so that means that no one can get to Mercury, Only space probes, Space probes travel so fast that they get to Mercury in one day!!!!! A 12 year old mercurian would be 12 years old - just that their year is shorter than our (earth) year. Mercury orbits the sun in approx 88 earth days so for every earth year, the mercurians would experience approx 4.15 mercurian years. So in the time someone reaches 12 years old on earth, a mercurian would have reached approx 49.81 mercurian years old. But as the mercurian day is approx 2/3 a mercurian year, a 12 year earthling is approx 4380 earth days old, whereas the 49.81 mercurian is only about 75 mercurian days old.
