The Earth rotates a little over 360 degrees in a 24 hour period, thus making a "day".

The Earth revolves around the Sun once in approximately 365 days. That's an "Earth year".

Mercury revolves around the Sun once every 88 days. That's a "Mercury year". So a little over 4 Mercury years would pass in the same amount of time it takes for an Earth year to pass.

So say I'm 38 in Earth years, and I calculated the same age for Mercury. Converting my Earth years to Mercury years, I would be approximately 158.

That is, if I spent 38 Earth years on Mercury, it would add up to approximately 158 Mercury years.

So, in a sense, you would be "older".

However, if you were born and raised on Mercury and spent 38 Mercury years there and then came to Earth, you would be only just over 9 years old in Earth years. So that in a sense would make you "younger".

Of course, you wouldn't really be older or younger.

Actually, Relativity Theory predicts that there would be extremely small, but

real effects, caused by differences in orbital velocities and gravitational field strengths.

However, I'm pretty sure that's not what this question meant.
