The Planet was already here. He put life back on it. There was a preadamic civilization led by Lucifer, from which he ruled over 1/3 of the "Stars of Heaven". When he fell those angles who followed him were thrown down to Earth, the 1/3 of the "Stars of Heaven" were just as Earth was in the second verse of Genesis.
How long did it take to Create the Earth. God Spoke the Universe into being, sort of a Divine Big Bang. How long ago is anyones guess.
After all else is said and done, it took six days for the Creation of Earth as we know it.

What's 6 billion years times 365?
Time is not a boundary that God works in, and how many "days" it took is not relative. The mistake people often make is that the ancient Jews measured their work in work-days. You think about how much work you can get done in a day. Consequently, the Torah records the creation of Earth as a metaphor to this reference. After God performed each part of the creation, he deemed it as a day. Being that God wasn't limited to the view of the sun rising and falling, how could one believe that God had 24 hour days?
It was just Moses' way of recording this event in the way he understood it.

what kind of days are you refering to. Notice that if man is confined with out sun light underground that he reverts to a 25 hour day, so in all likelyhood this was not the environment humans were originally created in. Could have been here or could have been somewhere else.
In the beginning I said "what kind of days" does that mean time space and everything within did not start b4 I typed in that line. So it is with scripture. We know not the exact context. We do know there is a message and we do know that the language that message was originally written in was a picture type language very different from our own so get what you can from it and proceed trying to make better decisions than you are now.

4 days to create the earth and its environment, 2 days to populate it, for a total of 6, 24 hour days, with a day added for man to rest and remember their Creator every week. Why do you think we still use a 7 day week today. A 365 day year is easy (revolution around sun), and a 30 day month is as well (revolution of moon around earth), but there is no other source of a 7 day week besides the Biblical account of Creation.

Earth was created by gravity pulling matter together. No gods were involved.
In any case, the term "day" is rather ambiguous before any "Earth" was existent, since our day is defined by the spin of the Earth.
In Dawkin's recent book, "The God Delusion", he remarks on a similar fallacy. In a science fiction book, two astronauts are out in space on a spaceship. One remarks to the other, "I'm so lonely out here in space. Right now, it would be springtime on Earth."
