The age of the Earth is generally agreed by scientists to be 4.54 billion years (4.54*102), plus or minus about 1%.[1] This has been deduced through many different lines of study, mainly geological evidence.

Geological evidence

The main geological evidence is found from lead, as there is assumed to be none of the original crust left due to erosion.
