They estimate that it is 4.5 billion years old. I would like to know how did they get this figure? And also the same about the Sun?

By the official definition of a planet, Pluto is not a planet but a dwarf planet...which technically isn't a true planet. Also by this definition, Earth and Jupiter aren't true planets.
If Dwarf planets are deemed true planets, then we have 11 known planets in our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, CERES,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, PLUTO, ERIS)
So, would Pluto be considered a true planet, thus having 11 planets in the solar system...or not a true planet?

Suppose we Earthlings were to somehow come into contact with a civilization from somewhere else in the Universe. It is very likely that our two species would have great differences in biology, social structure, communication methods, and nearly every other aspect of culture, civilization, and life. So what then would be the common ground? What do you think are things that are so fundamental that both of our civilizations understand them? How would you initiate dialogue or correspondence? Do you think they would understand mathematics and physics in a similar manner as us?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
