Answer:

radioactive dating; Earth

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive dating is a technique used by scientists to determine the time at which certain minerals or fossils formed. Since scientists have found 4.55-billion-year-old meteorites that likely formed out of the same material and at the same time as planet Earth, this means that the Earth is also about 4.55 billion years old.
