When the planet Earth was originally formed, some four and a half billion years ago, it was very hot, and all the rock was liquid. It took some time to cool sufficiently for some of the rock to solidify. Most of the Earth's rock is still liquid, by the way. The solid crust is a thin layer that floats on top of a hot liquid mantle.
Actually, rocks obtained from the Earth's Moon's highlands region are up to 4.5 billion years old.

The rocks brought back from the moon during the Apollo missions are estimated to be about 3.1 to 4.4 billion years old. These rocks provide valuable insights into the early history and geological processes of the moon.
Although one can argue whether or not Earth is actually 'alive', science shows that Earth is 4.6 billion years old.
The moon is roughly 4.5 billion years old, forming shortly after the Earth itself. Its age remains constant as it orbits the Earth.
Older than 4 billion years
Callisto's surface age is 4 billion years old.

they are in Iceland and are 4 billion years old
The rocks brought back from the moon during the Apollo missions are estimated to be about 3.1 to 4.4 billion years old. These rocks provide valuable insights into the early history and geological processes of the moon.
Earth's oldest known rocks are about 4 billion years old. 4 percent of 4 billion years is 160 million years.
No. The fact that some of the oldest Earth rocks are over 4 billion years old indicates that Earth was in a molten state for around 300 million years. The first rocks would have formed on Earth from this molten material.
The oldest continental rocks are around 4 billion years old. These rocks provide valuable information about the Earth's early history and can be found in regions such as Western Australia, Canada, and South Africa.
No, the oldest rocks on Earth are not located in the Grand Canyon. The oldest rocks found on Earth are estimated to be over 4 billion years old and are typically found in locations such as Canada, Australia, and Africa.

Rocks in continental crust can be as old as about 4 billion years. This is because the continental crust is made up of a mixture of ancient rocks that have been around since the Earth's early history. By studying these rocks, scientists can learn more about the planet's evolution and geological processes.
The Earth is at least 4.4 billion years old.
To determine the year in 4 billion years, you start with the current year, which is 2023. Adding 4 billion years to this gives you 4,000,002,023. Therefore, in 4 billion years, it will be the year 4,000,002,023.
