Question 1

How is my exact age calculated?

Accepted Answer

Your age is calculated from your date of birth to the current moment. Years and months use calendar math (accounting for varying month lengths), while seconds, heartbeats, and breaths use the precise time difference. The seconds counter updates in real-time every second.

Question 2

How are heartbeats estimated?

Accepted Answer

We use an average resting heart rate of 72 beats per minute, which is the widely cited adult average. Your actual lifetime heartbeat count varies based on activity level, fitness, age, and other factors. This is an estimate for fun — not a medical measurement.

Question 3

How are breaths estimated?

Accepted Answer

The average adult breathing rate is about 15 breaths per minute at rest. We multiply this by your total minutes alive. Like the heartbeat count, this is an approximation — your actual rate varies with activity, sleep, and health.

Question 4

What does 'orbits around the Sun' mean?

Accepted Answer

Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to orbit the Sun once. Your orbit count is your total days alive divided by 365.25. It is essentially your age in years expressed as a decimal — but it sounds much more cosmic.
