If the twin in the spaceship travels at a speed close to the speed of light, seen from Earth, the time of the traveling twin passes very slowly. Therefore, upon returning to Earth, less time has passed for him, compared to the twin who remains on Earth, that is, he is younger, while the twin who remains on Earth is older.
