Thor's hammer Mjolnir is one of the most powerful weapons in the Marvel Universe. Not only does it make Thor even more dangerous in battle, it allows the Thunder God to fly, conjure up storms, and even control lightning.

Adam details that "Thor, they reckon, rules the sky; he governs thunder and lightning, winds and storms, fine weather and fertility" and that "Thor, with his mace, looks like Jupiter".

There are very few powers that Mjolnir grants him, but it does seem to amplify his connection to the Odinforce at all times, and accordingly, powers him up. Still, most of Thor's powers can be performed without Mjolnir. Depending on the iteration, though, Mjolnir can disguise Thor as a mortal.
Odin is basically Thor and all the other Asgardians rolled into one—though he's even wiser, more experienced, and minus one eye. As the default King of Asgard, Odin is easily the most powerful being in his realm.

While Steve Rogers gets the title of the oldest human avenger, Thor Odinson, as the mighty Asgardian God of Thunder, has a much longer life span than any of his Earth-born friends.
How is Thor 500 years older than Loki? Thor Odinson himself said he is around 1500 years old at the time of the events of Infinity War (2018), and MCU fandom wiki mentions Loki's year of birth as 965 AD, hence he would be 1055 years old at the time of his death in 2018.
