Say that the difference was 100 million years. In comparison with Cosmic Time this is a small percentage so it is fair to say that they [ the Sun and all of the other bodies contained in our solar system ] formed at about the same time. Cosmic time begins at the formation of our Universe 13.6 billion years ago. Our Solar System condensed { coalesced } into Its present form 4.6 billion years ago. The gold and iron and copper on Earth were formed in a Supernova explosion that occurred long before the cloud that was generated by that explosion spread throughout the Universe and then some of it condensed into our solar system.
100,000,000 yrs / 13,600,000,000 yrs = .0074 % .

The answer depends on what characteristics being compared and the comparator. Possible examples:mass of earth to mass of sun (or a planet, or moon)radius of earth to radius of sun (or a planet, or moon)volume of earth to volume of sun (or a planet, or moon)mass of earth to its volumeperiod of rotation to period of revolutionorbital period to the average distance from the sunalbedo of earth to albedo of a planet, or moonThere are many other possibilities.

Why is it summer in the U.S when it is winter in Australia?
Because the Earth's axis of spin is tilted as compared to the plane in which it orbits the Sun. In the US summer the tilt causes the US to face the Sun more and Australia to be pointed away from the Sun. The strength of the Sun's energy drives the seasons.
