How old is the earth.?
How old is the earth? Rocks on the earth have been dated as old as 4 billion years. Many meteorites have been dated, and we consistently find an age of about 4.5 billion years. Evidence indicates that the meteorites and the earth were formed at about the same time, about 4.5 billion years ago.
I just read an earlier answer that said the earth is 6,000 years old. I swear to God I saw that. Now really people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night, light arrived at your house from the distant stars. It must have taken a long time for that light to reach your house, for the stars are very far away, and light travels at only 186,000 miles per second. Scientists tell us it would have taken billions of years for the light to have made that journey from the distant stars. If the light did indeed come from those stars, then the light left those stars billions of years ago. And if the light was traveling for billions of years, than the stars must be very old, and the universe is very old.
