Modern geologists consider the age of the Earth to be around 4.54
billion years (4.54Г—109 years).[1] This age was determined by
combining the interpretations of oldest-known terrestrial minerals -
small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia -
and astronomers' and planetologists' determinations of the age of the
solar system based in part on radiometric age dating of meteorite
material and lunar samples.
