Researchers have identified five other major extinction events in Earth's history, with estimated losses below: [11] End Ordovician: 440 million years ago, 86% of all species lost, including graptolites; Late Devonian: 375 million years ago, 75% of species lost, including most trilobites
Earth formed in this manner about 4.54 billion years ago (with an uncertainty of 1%) [25] [26] [4] and was largely completed within 10–20 million years. [27] In June 2023, scientists reported evidence that the planet Earth may have formed in just three million years, much faster than the 10−100 million years thought earlier.

Solar luminosity was 30% dimmer when the Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, [14] and it is expected to increase in luminosity approximately 10% per billion years in the future. [15] On very long time scales, the evolution of the sun is also an important factor in determining Earth's climate.
The authors therefore think the moon formed around 4.51 billion years ago — more than 100 million years earlier than the commonly accepted estimate. ... the study’s lead author and a professor ...
