Naw dawg you wouldn’t feel time moving differently

So like, on Mars for instance the planet spins on it’s axis at a similar speed to earth, so a “day” on Mars takes about 24.5 hours. It takes that long in between sunrises or sunsets on Mars.

For Mars to go around the sun, it takes the length of 687 earth days (or 668 Martian days) so about twice as long to see the seasons change, or experience the things we experience associated with a year.

But if you lived on Mars for 10 Martian years, your body would still age as much as if you spent the same amount of time on earth (about 19 years)
