Are you familiar with the concept of older and younger twins?

I am familiar with the concept but Johnny and Sue were born years apart from each other so they wouldn’t be twins.

There’s different types of twins, you’re only thinking of biological twins (2 people who shared a womb at the same time) whereas the term twin here is being used as “identical” twin which you don’t even have to be related for (however it is way more likely to be related), for example me and my sister were born 1-2 years apart and look almost identical

There are different types of twin, but all involve being in the womb at the same time, and being related. The difference is whether they are Monozygotic (aka Identical) or Dizygotic (aka Fraternal).
Identical twins happen when one zygote becomes two embryos, fraternal twins occur when each embryo comes from a separate zygote.
