Why the the sun and all the planets are believed to have been formed at the same time?

It has been believed that there was a big unknown mass of material.It collided with some other thing and broke into pieces which are the planets.The middle part remained as it was and it is called the Sun.

When did Mars form?
It is believed, and all suggests that the entire solar system was formed at the same time. There is no reason to believe that Mars has been formed before or afterwards the other planets.
Is Saturn as old as any of the other planets?
All the planets of our solar system are believed to have formed at about the same period in time.
Does meteorite impact formed the same as sites on other planets?
Certainly yes, it meteorite impact formed the same as sites on the other planets.
What is the youngest planet in our solar system?
There is not believed to be a youngest or an oldest planet. They most likely formed simultaneously.
What was the first planets?
The planets formed out of the solar nebular there is no concept of the "first" they all formed slowly at the same time.
When were planets formed and how?
The planets of our solar system were formed at different times, the earth is known to have formed as a planet about 4.6 billion years ago but other planets in the solar system may have formed earlier or later as they were quite conceivably not formed in the same manner as the earth
Name the planets in order of age?
We believe that all of the planets formed at about the same time from the planetary nebula.
How do planets get moons?
Most moons are formed at the same time as their planets, and are made of similar materials. After the formation of the sun, the leftover protoplanetary material eventually clumped together and formed planets. Any material left over from the formation of the planets later formed the moons. The Earth's moon, however, is believed to have been formed by a collision with a NEO (Near Earth Object), such as an asteroid, that scientists call Theia. The collision sent billions of tons of material into space and reaccreted into a spherical shape. They speculate that it was the size of Mars and hit Earth about 4.5 billion years ago while the Earth was still relatively young.
Do you Think The way a planets moons form is similar to or different from the way the planets formed around the sun?
Obviously they formed in the same manner...Gravity is Gravity!
What is the oldest planet in solar system?
All planets were formed around the same time.
How many planets where a long time ago?
The planets in our solar system formed our of the solar nebular/disk from which the Sun was made (as the Sun formed), some 4,600 million years ago. Therefore there have always been roughly the same number of planets as we have now. However, our solar system could have lost one or more of the original planets that were formed as the planets settled into their current positions. As part of the settling process, orbital resonances can cause planets to interact with each other gravitationally and planets can be ejected from the forming solar system. If this did happen, then we do not how may planets there were originally.
Solar system formed from a cloud of dust?
Yes, the solar system including our Sun and planets is believed to have formed from a large disk of gas and dust called a proto-disk or proto-solar disk, due to gravitational effects. It is currently thought that several stars formed from the same cloud as our Sun.
