I have often heard someone say that a certain person is their junior by so many years. Please clarify what this means.

Their junior refers to someone younger than them and senior is older. It can also apply in the work place referring to how long someone has been working for the company. The junior refers to someone working less time than them and senior they've been working longer.

It means that person is either not as old as OR has less experience than the other person. For example, each US state has a junior and a senior senator. The junior senator is the one who was most recently elected to the Senate, while the senior senator is the one with the longer tenure in the Senate.
