When did the sun get formed?

About 4.5 billion years ago, although some scientists claim closer to 4.7 billion years ago. Given how little we really know about cosmology and physics, it's difficult to be sure. Since the universe is about 14.5 billion years old, that indicates that the Sun and our solar system formed when the universe itself was about 10 billion years old, which was time for many generations of stars to form, burn themselves out, and explode.

This makes sense, because the planets are made of heavier elements that did not exist until they were created in the fires of supernova explosions.
