The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old and has had an atmosphere since it formed, but about 3.8-4.1 billion years ago there was believed to be the Late Heavy Bombardment, where a planetesimal roughly the size of Mars hit the Earth, breaking off a large chunk that formed into the Moon. This impact would have obliterated the atmosphere, but it has reformed naturally since then.

So, the answer to your question is approximately 4 billion years old.
