True or False? New Year in Astronomy

Welcome to your New Year Quiz

One orbit of the Earth around the Sun lasts exactly 365 days, 0 hours, and 0 minutes.

The Sun will not set at all at the South Pole of the Earth on New Year's Eve. The same will happen the next day.

During the year, the full moon occurs 12 times, but in a leap year, another one is added — the thirteenth.

A year on Venus lasts less than on Earth, a day is longer than on our planet, and the period of rotation around its own axis is longer than around the Sun.

A year on Mars is almost twice as long as on Earth. But that's only if you count in earth days. The duration of the Martian sol is much longer, so the duration of one orbit of the Sun is almost the same number of local days as on our planet.

The duration of one orbit of Jupiter around the Sun is 11.86 Earth years. However, if we count the rotations of the most gigantic planet, then a year on it lasts as long as 10,392 days.

Despite the fact that Saturn is further from the Sun, the length of a year on it is slightly shorter than on Jupiter because the rotation of the rings gives it additional speed.

Since its discovery, Pluto has not yet managed to make one complete orbit around the Sun.

On the exoplanet closest to the Sun, Proxima Centauri b, a year lasts the same as on Earth.

There are planets outside the Solar System where a year lasts less than one Earth day

If an exoplanet orbits its star counterclockwise, then time goes in the opposite direction.

The Sun makes one orbit around the center of the Galaxy over a period of about 230 million Earth years.
