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 is the spanish verb ser conjugated?
The Spanish verb "ser" (to be) is conjugated as follows: I am - yo soy,you are - tu eres, he/she/it is - el/ella (there is no neutral) es, we are - nosotros somos, they are - ellos son - ustedes (you-formal) son.Keep in mind there are two verbs meaning "to be". There is also the verb"estar" (to be) in a less "permanent" way. I am - yo estoy - you are, tu estas,el/ella esta (he/she is),nosotros estamos(we are), ellos estan (they are) and ustedes estan (you are). Difference between those two verbs seem suttle but vary in the degree of being permanent. For example: Yo soy alto. ( I am tall) is something you can`t change(permanent,) so it`s "ser". Estoy cansado (I am tired) is a state you are in that can(and will) change,hence estar. Soy un artista (I am an artist) is (for the moment) permanent,so it`s "ser". I am John(unlikely to change), soy John. I am pregnant ( for nine month) is estoy embarazada. (It will change).

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.
