The calculation regarding the age of the Earth was made by scientists using methods such as radiometric dating of rocks and minerals. By measuring the decay of radioactive elements in these materials, scientists have estimated that the Earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old.
What else can I help you with?
Why have scientist had a difficult time determining the age of earth?
because most of the matter that made of early Earth has been destroyed or changed.
How did scientists determined that the earth was made 4.567 billon years ago?
Scientists determined the age of the Earth by studying the decay of radioactive isotopes in rocks and meteorites. By measuring the ratios of certain isotopes in these samples, they were able to calculate an age of approximately 4.567 billion years. This technique is known as radiometric dating.
How much of the Earth was covered in ice during the Ice Age?
During the Ice Age, approximately 30 of the Earth's surface was covered in ice.
Age of earth can be determined by?
Scientists determine the age of Earth through radiometric dating of rocks, meteorites, and lunar samples. This method measures the decay of radioactive isotopes in these materials to calculate the Earth's age, estimated at around 4.54 billion years.
Is the Earth in an ice age right now?
No, the Earth is not in an ice age right now. The last ice age ended about 10,000 years ago.
Which discovery undermined the Victorian calculation for predicting the age of the earth?
the black hole (fanny)
Did the ice age come before the earth was made?
No. If there wasn't an Earth, there wouldn't be anywhere for there to be an ice age.
Why were lord kelvins calculations wrong?
Lord Kelvin's calculations regarding the age of the Earth were based on the assumption that the Earth had initially been molten and had cooled over time, and therefore assumed a much younger age for the Earth. However, he did not take into account the possibility of radioactive decay, which significantly extends the Earth's age beyond his calculations.
When was the world first made?
The prevailing theory regarding the age of our solar system is 4.6 billion years.
What methods are used to calculate the age of the earth?
One of the first ways to calculate the age of the Earth began in 1896 with radioactivity. Relative dating, in which events are placed in sequence without knowing their age in years, was conducted with respect to law of superposition. The law of superposition states that in layers of sedimentary rocks or lava flow, the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest is on the top. This application provided a rational basis for measuring relative time. Contrary to past beliefs, such as that of James Ussher whose calculation made Earth about 6,000 years old today, the age of the Earth is 4.5 billion years.

Calculation for weight of human beings?
Its your age x 2 + 8.
Do scientist debate on the age of the Earth?
scientist do debate in discussing the age of the earth because there is many theories that saying when is the earth began or made
Aren't dogs age times there size?
A rough and ready calculation for the age of a dog is to multiply its actual age in years by seven
Who calculated the Earth's age?
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.
Since the Earth is made up largely of heavier elements what would you conclude about its relative age?
The earth is younger then most stars and is made up from the remains of dead stars.
