Answer:

<em>4.7 years</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance of planet from Earth = 1.3 parsec

We know that 1 parsec = 3.26 light years

And a light year is the distance traveled by light in time period of 1 year.

So, Distance of planet from Earth = 1.3 \times 3.26 = 4.24 light years

Given that, the person travels at a speed equal to 90% of the light speed.

To travel to the planet from Earth, Light takes 4.24 years.

To travel the distance D, at a speed s light takes time of 4.24 years.

To travel the distance D, at a speed 0.90s, the person takes time:

\dfrac{4.24}{0.90} = \bold{4.7\ years}

So, the twin on Earth ages by <em>4.7 years.</em>
