Age Calculation Facts
Calculating age is more complex than it seems. A person born on February 29 (Leap Day) only has a "real" birthday every four years, though they still age normally. Different cultures calculate age differently — in some East Asian countries, babies are considered one year old at birth, and everyone gains a year on New Year's Day rather than their birthday.
The average human heart beats about 100,000 times per day, which means by age 30, your heart has beaten over one billion times. Adults breathe roughly 20,000 times per day. These numbers vary based on activity level, health, and fitness.
The concept of zodiac signs dates back thousands of years. Western astrology divides the year into twelve signs based on the sun's position, while Chinese astrology uses a twelve-year cycle with animals. Whether you believe in astrology or not, learning your signs is a fun cultural tradition.
