Time dilation is a physical phenomenon in which time moves differently for different observers in the same inertial frame (in which there is no acceleration between them). In time dilation, time moves slower for an observer who is in motion relative to another observer.
In relativity, time dilation is the variation in the elapsed time as calculated by two clocks. It is due to the velocity difference between the two clocks or the variation in their location’s gravitational potential. In usual scenarios, time dilation refers to the effect caused by relative velocities.
