A spacecraft flies away from the earth with a speed of 4.80 x 106 m/s relative to the earth and then returns at the same speed.

The spacecraft returns to its starting point 365 days (1 year) later, as measured by the clock that remained on earth. What is the difference in the elapsed times on the two clocks, measured in hours? Which clock, the one in the spacecraft or the one on earth, shows the shortest elapsed time?
