Best Answer

In the context of Western Civilization, the Earth's age was originally calculated in mainly philosophical and religious terms, with a wide variety of thinkers making estimates of the Earth's age based on sacred texts, spiritual revelations, or (quite distinctly) metaphysico-scientific studies of reality, among other things. It was not until the early modern era that stricter experimental science was utilized to derive the age of the Earth based on geological evidence.

In order to calculate the density of Earth, you need to find the mass of earth and the volume of earth and divide: p=m/v where p=density, m=mass and v=volume.
