The best way to tell the difference is by tracking the object.

If the object seems to move in an orbit around the Sun, then it is in the solar system. If not, it is outside it.

How do you know the age of the solar system?

No one knows it. Scientists lie or exaggerate about knowing. Although the above is partially true, scientists do have theories about how the solar system was formed.
