I wanna know; is it the planet's rotation on it axis that makes us age? Or the planet's rotation around the sun that makes us age?

*hanging head in shame*
How can somebody even ask such a moronic question? THINK!!! God gave you a brain, USE IT!!!

The planet, rotating on its axis, causes the land masses on the earth's surface to experience the sun's light and heat for a time, and then to experience shadow for a time.
Night and day.
The planet rotating around the sun would have little impact, if the earth wasn't tilted on its axis. Since it is tilted in one direction, AND it orbits the sun, we have SEASONS.
Now, neither cycles of shadow and light, nor termperature trends of the seasons cause aging.
Aging is due to the cellular structure of our bodies breaking down. It is a natural process that begins shortly after growth ends. And it's not just with people, but with plants and animals as well.

It's us. Gravity actually helps prevent signs of aging. Astronauts tend to age much more quickly (bone density, etc.) while in space. Each cell in your body is a copy of one that came before. As time passes, you are making copies of copies of copies, and things are going to get screwed up and the original is no longer there. Your body degrades because the original blueprint is gone and it's improvising. Same reason that we get people with webbed toes. Some of that DNA/RNA was mis-copied somewhere.

Aging is a chemical process, and is not related to the movement of a planet. No matter if a planet is moving or not, you will still age.

there is no controller. Planets rotate because of fact of angular momentum from while the planets shaped - there is no friction in area, no longer something to reason the rotation to decelerate. So planets (and stars, moons, asteroids, galaxies, and so on.) proceed to rotate. there is no extra "capability" required because of fact there is not any longer something slowing them down. gadgets orbit different bigger gadgets because of angular momentum and gravity. All gadgets are in action - if an merchandise strikes close sufficient to a gravitational source (which contain a planet or massive call), that action will curve in accordance with gravity and that merchandise will then orbit the bigger one. So i assume you ought to declare that the "regulation of the controller" is quantum physics, and the "controller" is gravity.

Orbit makes us get one year older. Cells using up their energy and dying is what causes us to age.

It's the bodys inability to replace dead cells as time passes that causes the physical effects of aging.

Neither. Oxidation makes us age, as does wear and tear, an unhealthy lifestyle, etc.

It's the cells in our body progressively not being able to regenerate as fast.
