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).]
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 % .
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 word means earth heat and is old as the world itself?
the sun!
Are there advantages when it comes to tornadoes?
Not really. Tornadoes can clear out old vegetation, leaving room for new growth, but this ia a minor aspect compared to the destruction that many tornadoes cause.
Is your sun as old as your universe?
no..
Which is the oldest the sun moon or earth?
Matter cannot be created or destroyed it only changes forms. They are all the same age.
Is Rigel a young star?
Compared to the sun, yes. It is only around 8 million years old.
Is our sun a black dwarf?
No. The sun is a main sequence star. A black dwarf is the remnant of a dead star that has cooled. The universe is not old enough for this to have happened yet.
Approximatley how old is your universe?
My universe is approximately 13-15 billion years old. How old is your universe?
How old is the earth and the solar system?
The universe as a whole is estimated to be 14.4 billion years old. As for earth, it was created only 4.54 billion years ago!

That was before the whole expansion started, so 0 miles or any other measurement in volume. The Universe is only about 13 billion years old.
What words does the alchemist say that echo those of the old King?
The alchemist says, "When you want something, the whole universe conspires to help you." This echoes the old king's words, "When you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true." Both convey the idea of the power of one's desires to shape their reality.
How big was the universe when the sun was formed?
This is a question that is almost impossible to answer, as our ability to see further and further away is ever increasing. BUT! for arguments sake we shall say that the size if the Visible known Universe as we know it today stands at 93 billion light years across and expanding. As the sun is only 4.5 Billion years old and we assume that the universe was smaller at the time the Sun was born, we can argue that it was 88.5 Billion light years across.
What if you put the universe in a tube?
There seems little point in trying to answer the question " what will happen if we do this ?" unless we first ask "could we do this ?" and get a positive answer. It is fairly obvious that trying to put the universe in a tube would pose some major engineering difficulties, but the real problem is philosophical. The universe is everything. The whole of space, and the whole of the matter and energy that is in that space. If we try to put the universe in a tube, where would we get the material to make the tube, and where can we find the space to put it in ? The old, old problem of how you lift yourself by your own bootstraps pales by comparison.
How old is brahma?
as old as the universe!
What is the number 13.69by mean in astronomy?
That is current estimate for the age of our universe. 13.69 billion years old, or ~3x older than our sun and solar system.
