Detailed explanation-1: -Count the dark rings to calculate the age of the tree. Start in the middle of the stump or cross-section of wood and count the first dark ring you see. Continue counting outwards from the middle ring until you reach the last dark ring. The total number of dark rings represents the age of the tree in years.
Detailed explanation-2: -These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life. The light-colored rings represent wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer and fall.
Detailed explanation-3: -Divide the radius by the average ring width. Divide 24 (or 60.96) by 0.20 (or 0.508) to come up with an estimated age of 120 years.
