In Spanish ''son'' means are, and "estan" means are too just like the verb BE in Enlgish. The difference in use is the following example:
Ellos son hermanos = They are brothers
Ellas son primas = They are cousins
Ellos son nuevos estudiantes = They are new students
Ellos estan atrapados en el tráfico = They are stuck in traffic.
Ellas están en el parque = They are in the park.
Ellos están en el carro = They are in the car
note: They are both used with 3rd person plural only
But when talking about ages, we use verb be in a complete different way:
Yo tengo 10 años = I am ten years old
Tú tienes 20 años = You are twenty y/o
El/ella tiene 5 años = S/he is 5 y/o
Nosotros tenemos 40 años = We are forty y/o
Ellos/as tienen 30 años = They are thirty y/o

How do you say you- are in Spanish?
depending on context, you can either say estas or eres. Expanding this answer:. (i) tu eres OR tu estas (ii) vosotros sois OR vosotros estais (iii) Vd (= usted) es OR Vd (=usted) esta (iv) Vds (= ustedes) son OR Vds (= ustedes) estan In order these are (i)singular and/or informal; (ii)plural informal; (iii)singular polite; (iv)plural polite. The difference between ser (whence eres/es/sois/son) and estar (whence estas/estais/esta/estan) is that the former describes more permanent states or qualities, the latter temporary states. (e.g. in English - You are English, you are a man - as against You are happy (if you used 'ser' it would mean you are happy by nature, as against happy at the moment))
