How Old Is Earth?

We may feel at times as though we have always been on this planet and the answer is that we probably have been. The amount of time that Earth has been around is actually one of those million dollar questions – it's impossible to say. However, some scientist say that around 5000 million years ago our planet was nothing more than part of a cloud of dust and gas, spinning around in space. Around this time, something caused the material in the dust to contract and form the Sun, the Earth and the other planets in our Solar System.

It is believed that when the gasses and dust settled, they formed a circular shape of molten rock and nickel sank to create the Earth's core. Like an open wound healing, the core created the Earth's crust, which began to form around 4000 million years ago. Small plates of this crust floated on oceans of molten rock. As the crust developed, volcanoes erupted, water vapour condensed and formed what we know as oceans and continents began to form – and Voila! Here we are! So next time you have a moan about the train being late, just think, if the dust and gasses hadn't settled, we wouldn't be here anyway!

Since the first day god created the earth. Thats what i think. I'm not tryna be funny.

The Earth is believed to have formed some 4.6 billion years ago.

Earth is 4.5 - 5.0 billion years old! (4,500,000,000 - 5,000,000,000)

The earth is 4.6 billion years old. I.e. 4,600,000,000 years.

Earth is said to be 4.6 billion years old

The Earth according to carbon14 dating methods is about 5 billion years old

The latest findings say over 5 billion years, certainly more than the biblical 7-10 thousand years ;)

More than the moon less than mars. Divided by jupiter times mercury,subtracted from saturn squared by milkyway

100000000 year

4.7billion years old by pimp c

The earth is actually an average to 6-7 thousand years ago

Scientists says that the earth is around 4.5 billion years old.
