carbon dating is another way to date items. In carbon dating, the approximate time taken by the item to degrade to half is calculated according to the degrading time of carbon which is nearly constant. In this way half of this half portion is calculated and the process goes on till we dont find the exact age of the item. This method is used for finding the age of fossils(dinosaurs for example)
Not in our solar system. Nor have any been found elsewhere to date.
yes because radiocarbon finds the age of things such as rocks, bones and fossels +++ As its name suggests it can only test carbon compounds - generally organic - and it won't date rocks or most fossils.
i just figured this out "i have more dates than you do"

No. Due date is calculated from your the first day of your last menstral.
Radioactive dating refers to the process of measuring the age of an object using the amount of a given radioactive material it contains. Relative dating, meanwhile, measures the order of past events, without determining their absolute age.
Flying a kite is not the same as the wind blowing, but you need one for the other. Radioactive decay is not the same as radioactive dating, but you need the decay to get the date. Radioactive isotopes each of a characteristic decay rate and if one knows the amount of such an isotope in an object when it was created, the level of radioactivity decreases predictably with age and one can calculate the age by knowing the decrease. Radioactive decay is good for a lot of other things too, just like the wind.
About 58,000 years. After that amount of time, there will no longer be enough radioactive carbon in an object to measure. However, other radiometric dating methods can date much older materials.
The two methods are "RELATIVE DATING" and "ABSOLUTE DATING". :)
Uranium is very useful for radioactive dating. It can date extremely old substances, and can date very accurately.

Radio-carbon dating is one, carbon 14 changes to carbon 13 over time, scientists measure how much carbon 14 is left in a fossil to determine how old it is.
Radiometeric dating is a technique to date geological materials like rocks etc by determining the relative proportions of particular radioactive isotopes present in a sample.
Rock layers of igneous and some metamorphic rock that contain certain radioactive isotopes are datable by isotopic techniques.
Radioactive elements are used to date the age of rocks. Radioactive elements decay according to a known pattern. Scientists can use the elements of that pattern to determine when the rock with the original radioactive element was formed.
For example, radioactive dating.Also, two people who work in a lab (typically a man and a woman) could have a date.
Radioactive isotopes are used in radiometric dating to determine the age of objects such as rocks or fossils. By measuring the decay of specific isotopes present in these objects, scientists can calculate how long it has been since the material was formed. This technique helps provide a timeline of events in Earth's history and is crucial for understanding the age of archaeological artifacts.
