I love astronomy stuff, not an expert at all, but have always been so fascinated by it. I am totally baffled by how we seem to claim that we can approximate how long the sun has been around. Like the margin of error for a number like that is crazy…. totally incomprehensible to me. Say that we are 25% off, that means we are over 1 billion years off. So, how do people confidently claim that the sun is 4.6 billion years, rather than 3 billion or 10 billion?

well, ill tell you…. i dont know. I think its weird how the Sun is 4.6 and the earth is 4.5 and then boom earths moon came less than a few hundred millions years later , and a milions not much when dealing with billions …. my dumb ass thought for years that the moon didnt come along until the earth was already 2 billion years old or something
