question 6 (1 point)
how old is our sun?
a 2.1 billion years old
b 10 billion years old
c the same age as the earth (4.6 billion years)
d the same age as the universe (13.8 billion years)

Explanation:

The Sun, along with the Earth and the rest of the solar system, formed from a solar nebula. Scientific research (such as radiometric dating of meteorites, which are remnants from the solar system's formation) shows that the Sun and Earth are approximately 4.6 billion years old. Option a (2.1 billion years) is too young. Option b (10 billion years) overestimates, and option d (same as universe, 13.8 billion years) is incorrect as the solar system is younger than the universe.

Answer:

c. The same age as the Earth (4.6 billion years)
