The Universe is believed to be about 14 billion years old, whilst our Solar system is only about 4.5 billion years old. Our Solar system is sometimes called a '3rd generation system' as it results from several episodes of stellar accretion and destruction, each one generating more sophisticated elements. [But our Sun, being small, can only generate elements up to iron, because the Sun's size and temperature allow no further nucleosynthesis, (as it is called).]
Earth Science
The reason James Hutton and others inferred that earth had to be much older than a few thousand years was because of all the fossils that were found.
The age of the earth is a point of controversy. Some say the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Others now believe that the earth is much older.

Everything in the universe. things on the other side of the universe are affected by earth's gravity, but so slight that it isn't recognizable.
It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang. The Universe continues expanding, though.It is the Universe that expanded, not specifically the Earth. Earth was formed much later than the Big Bang.

Only a little than 4x older actually, the universe is roughly 16 billion years old and Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Of course there are other estimates that the universe is as young as 12 billion years and as old as 20 billion years
The universe is older
Young Earth creationism asserts that the earth and universe were created by God in a literal six days about 6,000-10,000 years ago, as described in the Bible, whereas Old Earth creationism accommodates scientific dating methods and allows for a much older age of the earth and universe, but still believes in a divine creator. Both views seek to reconcile scientific and religious beliefs, but differ in their interpretations of the age of the earth and universe.
No. Pretty much everything in the Universe is moving away from pretty much everything else in the Universe. This is because the Universe is expanding.
mercury is 1,000,000 years older than earth the mith says it got to the range hola nachos nacos!
The universe then the sun then the earth:)
No. The universe is everything that exists.

The geocentric model stated that Earth was the center of the universe, and all other bodies revolved around it.Ptolemy thought that the rest of the universe spun in nested circles around the Earth, with the Sun and stars much closer than they actually are.
No, because there is no universe that begins with Earth.
