Question

In your own words, explain the effects of time dilation.

Answer 1

So we want to explain the effects of time dilation. In theory of relativity time dilation is the difference of elapsed time between two events when measured by two observers who are moving relatively to each other. A clock of an observer that is standing still in an inertial frame of reference is going to measure a different time of an event than the clock of an observer that is moving with some velocity with respect to the inertial reference frame that is not moving. In a nutshell, the moving clock is ticking slower than the clock that is standing still.  

Answer 2

Explanation:

Time dilation: It is defined as the difference in the elapsed time which is measured by the two observer. It is due to the difference in the velocity relative to each other. It is the theory of special relativity.

Time dilation is an apparent loss of time of a moving clock as observed by the observer who is at rest.

Suppose, a clock is moving relative to an observer. It measures the time slower than the clock at rest in the observer frame of reference.
