The Sun was formed about 4.57 billion years ago whereas the universe is 13.75 ±0.17 billion years old at current best guess. The sun is about one third the age of the universe.

How old is the earth compared to the sun?

Say that the difference was 100 million years. In comparison with Cosmic Time this is a small percentage so it is fair to say that they [ the Sun and all of the other bodies contained in our solar system ] formed at about the same time. Cosmic time begins at the formation of our Universe 13.6 billion years ago. Our Solar System condensed { coalesced } into Its present form 4.6 billion years ago. The gold and iron and copper on Earth were formed in a Supernova explosion that occurred long before the cloud that was generated by that explosion spread throughout the Universe and then some of it condensed into our solar system. 100,000,000 yrs / 13,600,000,000 yrs = .0074 % .


Which is older the earth or the universe and by how much?

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).]

When was the Earth founded?

Authorities mostly agree that the age of the Earth is about 4.54 x 109 years. This agrees with the age of the Sun according to stellar growth and luminosity models, and also agrees with meteor dating. The dating is done by radiometric methods. The oldest rocks on the Earth (in Australia) are in excess of 4 x 109 years old. The Universe is about three times as old.


What are the old earth creationism theories?

OEC is an umbrella term for various ideas on the Creation. These include the Gap Theory and Progressive Creationism. Suggest you look it up via the phrase 'old earth creationism' as it it too long to summarize here.

The alchemist says, "When you want something, the whole universe conspires to help you."
