has this ever happened to you: a customer insists that 21 days is not 3 weeks? you would probably assume that they are crazy/stupid/mathematically challenged- or all three at the same time. however, it could be possible that they are right! 21 day might not be 3 weeks on their home planet!
here is a chart for how long a day is in earth hours:
planet day 21 days
--------- ----------- --------------------------------
Mercury 58.65 days 1231.7 days (or about 3.4 years)
Venus 243 days 5103 days (or about 14 years)
Mars 1.o26 days 21.5 days
Jupiter 9.8 hours 8.6 days
Saturn 10.2 hours 8.9 days
Uranus 17.9 hours 15.7 days
Neptune 19.1 hours 16.7 days
Pluto 6.39 days 134.2 days
