The Earth and solar system are estimated to have originated about 4.6 billion years ago, or approximately 4,600 million years. This estimation is based on evidence from radiometric age dating of the oldest meteorites and lunar samples, which provides insights into the timing of solar system formation. The process involved the condensation of gas and dust in a solar nebula, leading to the formation of the Sun and surrounding planetary bodies, including Earth.
