Answer:

It moves 7.088 times faster that a clock at rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Einstien's special theory of relativity we have

observer's Time =
\frac{T_(o)}{\sqrt{1-((v)/(c))^(2)}}

where To is proper time

Applying values we get

Observer's time =
\frac{T_(o)}{\sqrt{1-((0.99c)/(c))^(2)}}\\\\=7.088T_(0)

This for the clock on spaceship it moves 7.088 times faster than that on earth
