The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years

Our Sun is a ball of hot, glowing gases. The part we can see is about 11,000°F (6,100°C). It gets hotter as you go deeper.

The diameter of the moon is about 3480 km (about 2160 mi).

The concept of a fourth dimension is one that is often described in considering its physical implications; that is, we know that in three dimensions, we have dimensions of length (or depth), width, and height. The fourth dimension is orthogonal to the other three spatial dimensions. The cardinal directions in the three known dimensions are called up/down (altitude), north/south (longitude), and east/west (latitude). When speaking of the fourth dimension, an additional pair of terms is needed. Attested terms include ana/kata (sometimes called spissitude or spassitude), vinn/vout (used by Rudy Rucker), and upsilon/delta.

The fourth dimension is often identified with time, and as such is used to explain space-time in Einstein's theories of special relativity and general relativity. In this case, the concept of an additional spatial dimension would be referred to as the fifth dimension. In this article, however, we discuss the implications of considering the fourth dimension as another spatial dimension.

Scientists estimate the age of the earth to somewhere around 6 to 7 billion years old. The diameter of the moon as measured at the equator of the moon is 3,476.2 km. The temperature of the sun is estimated at 5780 Kelvin. As for a 4 dimensional objects and what they look like, I am sorry but I do not know.

The earth was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. Some rocks have been found which are nearly that old.

The sun's surface temperature is about 10,000 F. The temperature at the center is estimated to be about 27,000,000 F. It is not likely that we will have direct measurements of that anytime soon.

The moon is about 2160 miles in diameter.

It is not possible to fully visualize in 3-space an object that exists in 4-space. When I was in high school, I used sticks to build a model of a tesseract - a cube in 4-space, which had the 4 orthogonal axes rendered as non-orthogonal and the fourth dimension magnitude projected to 0. It is a bit difficult to visualize from this description.

(1) The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years (plus or minus about 1%).

(2) 5770 K (5476.85 C) is the surface temperature. The solar atmosphere gets much hotter, up to tens of millions of kelvins. The interior temperature is also much hotter: that is where nuclear fusion takes place.

(3) The diameter of the moon is 3476 kilometers across.

(4) A tesseract is a typical example of a 4D object. A picture of one can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract

Based on carbon-12 dating procedures found in rocks underneath of the Earth, the age of the planet is said to be 4.58 billion years now.
The figures about the ge of the Earth is based on the data experimented through carbon-12 dating procedures.

Well, there ASUMEING it is 4.5 billion years old, but they don't know for shure. Carbon dating is ment too date things that have been dead for 60, 000 years .. It is all gues work, they don't know.
