How old I would be at 1/5 the speed of light if I'd travelled

[deleted-335874]

I am a Spanish student in a grade that would be equivalent to grade 10. My question involving physics is for a short sci-fi story I am writing.

If I was traveling at a speed of 1/5 the speed of light and right now I am at 1 light year from where the journey first started, how old I am if I was 20 when I got into the spacecraft? And how much time has passed for the people living in Earth (let's say The Earth is the starting point)

My hypothesis is that I would be 5 years, but I really don't know how much time would've passed for Earthlings

Thanks in advance,

Alicia

Hi Aliciacuber,

Your question is a very interesting one, but since it is related to a science fiction book you are working on, a different set of online forums would be better able to help you.These forums are targeted toward K-12 students, parents, and teachers who are working on science projects.
