Hi,

Age of Earth is equal to

  1. A solar day
  2. A lunar day

  4. None of these

Which is the correct one and how?

Do you have any idea how old the Earth is?
 
According to my book:

1.4 x 107 s
 
and do you have any idea how long each of those other things is?
 
It's approximate value. nope, I don't have any idea about this.

That's why I asked it here !
 
perhaps you would find it informative to look them up.
