Reply to comment by Anonymous-USA in So from what I understand Sagittarius a is in the Center of Milky Way. If any planets orbit this black hole would there be time dilation? by EarthInteresting9781

So would you age slower on Uranus versus earth. Or would your body age all the same?

If you had an identical twin on Earth and Uranus, when the one on Earth reaches 70 yrs old, the twin on Uranus will be 1.1 second younger. Not including the time dilation experienced traveling to Uranus, but let’s say we have a transporter to blink us there.

You will always age the same relative to you.

So, assuming you could live on such a massive world, you turning 30 would take the same amount time as here on Earth, so far as how "long" it feels to you.

However if you were to somehow leave and come to earth, you'd find it "older". So like the twin on Uranus example posted here, if you and your clone were born at the same time, black hole you would be "younger" - although - if your clone was now 60 (to your 30) - you'd have "experienced" half as much time as he has.
