Antarctica is 3 billion years old. It is believed to be the oldest continent. Antarctica is as old as the Earth itself
500 billion years ago, planet Earth didn't exist. The Universe didn't even exist for such a long time; the age of the Universe is estimated at about 14 billion years.500 billion years ago, planet Earth didn't exist.

The sun is estimated to be about 4.6 billion years old. It formed from the gravitational collapse of a region within a large molecular cloud.
Antarctica, India, and South America, in the single planetary continent called Pangaea.
Antarctica was connected to the supercontinent Gondwana, located near the South Pole, around 250 million years ago during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras. Over millions of years, tectonic plate movements caused Antarctica to drift to its current location in the southern hemisphere.
The sun is estimated to be about 4.6 billion years old. It formed from a collapsing region in a large molecular cloud approximately that long ago.
A billion years equals a billion years. 1,000,000,000 years
The Sun is currently in the middle of its life, and has been approximately shining for 5 billion years. It will die out in 5 billion years also, but the human race will be long gone before that happens. The sun has been shining for about 4.6 billion years and it will continue to shine for about 5 billion more years
Antarctica was unknown 2000 years ago.
A billion years from now
Earth is about 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old. The universe is about 13.7 billion years old.
The earliest continent currently theorised to have existed was Ur about 3 billion years ago. About 1.8 billion years ago Arctica, Baltica and East Antarctica merged forming Nena. Then about 1 billion years ago Nena, Atlantica, and Ur collided forming Rodinia which held together for about 750 million years. Finally about 300 million years ago Pangaea formed from Avalonia and Laurentia and was itself broken into Gondwana and Laurasia about 100 million later.
