There's a spot-on article in Wikipedia here: Hubble's law. If you scroll down to the "Interpretation" section, it explains H0 and it also shows all the relevant calculations. Because H0 varies with the age of the universe, it can't be applied to two objects (earth and sun) for a long span of time -- even if they actually existed at the beginning. How long before we get to the "it's only a theory," argument?
