You probably know about the Twin who traveled on a spaceship at near the speed of light, and by returning to earth faces his twin brother much older than him.
Let's say twin number 1 lives on Planet M in Galaxy Z, and twin number 2 on Planet 52 in Galaxy 998. They got there both at the same time, lets say this morning, and look exactly the same.
Planet M moves at 10,000 km/h around a star, its solar system at 20,000 km/h around the center of its Galaxy, and the Galaxy at 30,000 km/h inside the Universe.
Planet 52 moves at 0.5c around a star, its solar system at 0.6c around the center of its Galaxy, and the Galaxy at 0.7c inside the Universe.
Would 1 age faster than twin 2 for an external viewer?
