I have only a very vague awareness of the idea of relativity but I’m aware that there’s a concept that people in orbit experience less time than those on the planet due to gravity, in some way.
Does this mean that the idea of “now”, as in a moment that is right now, is marginally different for people in other places? Are they experiencing a moment that is in my objective future/past, in a mathematical sense?

In relatively, whether things happen at the same time (simultaneity) is also relative to an observer.
That is to say, it’s possible for event A to happen before event B by one observer, but for B to happen before A by another observer.
