Science can't predict weather 4 days in advance; correctly.
And it estimates the age of fossils. Don't know which one is more accurate.

Have you ever heard of the Butterfly Effect, or a butterfly flapping its wings, can cause a tornado years later?
Weather prediction is one of the most complex areas of computer modeling. We've come a long way, but yes, better than 90% accuracy, can only be done 4 days in advance. With quantum computing, it's expected that this will be extend to 10 days.
As to aging fossils, there are multiple accurate methods, depending on how old the fossils, and the kind of terrain they're buried in.

@Northwest Ever heard of? I even know which book you have read or which video you have watched, to quote 'Butterfly effect' .
It doesn't amuse me. Just because fossils can not speak for themselves but weather can, doesn't make the predictions accurate. Science has even predicted the age of sun.

No, you don't.

Not sure what you're trying to say. Yes, using rocks brought back from the moon, helped provide a better estimate, namely about 4.5 billion years.
No, you don't.

If it were the rock of different smaller planets, smaller than pluto to be called as planet coming together through a blast and high temperature caused them to combine, where would this 4.5 Billion year Mark go?

I'm sure you think this makes sense. It doesn't. The age of the sun is an estimate, based on the assumption that the entire solar system, formed as a single system.
Taking samples from the earth, the moon and meteorites, provide an answer that's between 4.5 Billion and 5 billion years.

Like the samples of air, cloud, humidity, barometric pressure taken today to forecast about tomorrow?
