An unknown planet has been discovered halfway between Jupiter and Mars. Estimate the length of this planet's year in # of days.

1 year on Neptune = 60,190 days

1 year on Uranus = 30,687 days

1 year on Saturn = 10,759 days

1 year on Jupiter = 4,333 days

1 year on Mars = 687 days

1 year on Earth = 365 days

1 year on Venus = 225

1 year on Mercury = 88 days

2510 days (average of mars and jupiter)

(687+4333)/2
