He will still age 1 year... Time still has past him by...
If you want to consider him in other planet's time frame, you're on your own....

Back when JFK was president there was a mistake made
during a crisis
One of the atomic clocks was accidently left on the runway
the other went onboard Air Force One
when the plane landed it was discovered that the clock
on the ground experianced less time
the clock works by counting radioactive particle emmisions
this sparked the scientific world into discovering that
time passes slower in the influence of gravity
So if he stayed on Earth for 1 year he would have aged
less than if he was in space for 1 year

What kind of question is this? Are you on the crack-pipe again?
Out in space, wherethehell is an astronaut going to STAND?? Did you think about that when you put this brain-fried question together?
And if he is not moving in an orbit, he is going to get pulled toward the nearest large mass, gathering speed until he hits the surface in a bloody mess. Did you think about that when you put this brain-fried question together?
And, what? Do you actually think that just because he's out there "standing" in space, that somehow he's going to slow down time?? Your head has tiny little bits and pieces of reality surrounded on all sides by an intellectually barren wasteland.

By Earth Standards, he would age an Earth year. However, by his watch, he would not. Time is very closely related to gravity. Our solar system is moving roughly 60,000 MPH in orbit around the milky way galaxy. So he if stayed put for a year, he would move about 525.6 million miles away from the Earth and away from our solar system. (not that far, it's just over 5au. Light would take about 40 minutes to reach him from the Earth) So all this means is he is not around the Tug of the Earth's gravity. So his watch would be off by a few seconds. So no, it would not be exactly a year, but it'd be darn close.

Yup absolutely he will still age 1 year.
Time is not relative to the movement around the sun.
Time keeps on going at a steady rate.
We are just measuring time relative to one earth rotation on its axis (one day) one earth revolution around the sun (one year). There are other forms of measuring time, with one moon revolution around the earth (one month), with one mars rotation on its axis (one sol), with the use of crystal vibrations (e.g. quarts crystal used in watches)
If you are in a distorted space-time world then time would relatively be different. Like in black holes, scientists and astronomers say that time in black holes are distorted. Time is rather moving slow or fast or moving back and forth.

Yes, aging is not subject to orbiting the sun though that is used to measure time.
