The time passed on earth is mathematically given as

t' = 24.79 hrs

<h3>What is the time passed on earth?</h3>

Generally, the equation for is time mathematically given as

$t' = \gamma t$

Where

$\gamma = Lorentz\ factor \\\\\gamma = 1/ \sqrt {(1 - v^2/c^2)}$

$t' = t/ \sqrt {(1 - v^2/c^2)}$

Therefore

$t' = 24/ \sqrt {(1 - (0.25c/c)^2) }$

$t'= 24/ \sqrt {(1 - 0.25^2)$

t' = 24.79 hrs

In conclusion, the time passed on earth

t' = 24.79 hrs
