T he generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years (plus or minus about 1%). This value is derived from several different lines of evidence for instance, Earth's oldest rocks and oldest crystals .

Thank You.

Easy question to answer. The best estimate of how old the Earth is 4.54 billion years and 3 weeks, 2 hours and 17 minutes. How do I know this? Well on the morning of 15 June I did the research and by now you have to add the 3 weeks, 2 hours and 17 minutes.

The oldest rocks on this planet are found to be approx. 4.5 billion years old, this is accomplished using radioactive dating methods. However, this could be slightly scewed, this age, due to the fact that each time a rock is melted the radioactive clock is reset and we know if this has happened, due to the early beginnings of the earth and it being a time of high igneous activity

The Earth is about 4.57 billion years years old. It formed in orbit around the Sun through the collision of smaller bodies called planetesimals that had coalesced from the heavier elements of the solar nebula.
