What evidence can you cite that the solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago?

As far as I know, this is mainly determined by radioactive dating methods. If a rock is found (for example, from a meteor) that has a certain age according to such dating methods, then it follows that the Solar System is at least as old (assuming the rock was part of the Solar System to begin with).

What is the cloud of gas and dust from which our solar system formed?
Solar nebula.
When Do scientists believe your solar system was formed?
by a theory of the BIG BANG explosion and the HELIOCENTRIC theory,that until now is being believe
How do you know that the solar system did not form during the Big Bang?
The ages don't match. The Bing Bang occurred some 13.8 billion years ago; the Solar System has an age of about 4.6 billion years.
Which figure is closest to age of the solar system?
The Solar System is about 4.5-4.6 billion years old (i.e. 4500-4600 million years old.) Because the Solar System developed gradually it's hard to be more precise than that and say exactly when it started, but solid grains first condensed out of the Solar Nebula about 4567 million years ago.
According to nebular hypothesis The planets of the solar system?
The formation of the Solar System is estimated to have begun 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud.[1] Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.
When did scientist believe your solar system formed?
The solar system is believed to have formed about 5 billion years ago, and by the way, why do you call it YOUR solar system? Do you come from a different solar system? Because if not, then it's OUR solar system.
What is our solar system formed?
About 4.6 billion years ago.
What formed our solar system?
About 4.6 billion years ago.
What evidence has been used to show that the Earth and all the planets of the solar system were formed simultaneously?
when told that let a solar system be formed it was formed
Did sun or earth is born first?
The solar nebula formed (~7 billion years ago)The solar nebula collapsed into the disk of the solar system (~6.5 billion years ago)The sun formed and ignited fusion at the center of the disk of the solar system (~6 billion years ago)The planets, asteroids, and comets formed from the outer parts of the disk of the solar system (~4.5 billion years ago)
When was the universe and solar system formed?
Universe: About 13.8 billion years ago.Solar System: About 4.6 billion years ago. More details at the Wikipedia articles "Age of the Universe" and "Age of the Earth". The details include a discussion about the evidence.
When did the solar system exist?
The solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago and still exists. If it didn't exist, then neither would we.
How old was the universe when solar system formed?
About 9 to 12 billion years old
When was the earth and other planets formed in the solar system?
4.6 billion years ago.
What evidence indicates that our solar system is about 4.5 billion years?
The main evidence is from radioactive materials on Earth, as well as their by-products.
How long has Jupiter been a planet?
4.5 billion years, like the rest of the solar system
Why did the solar system start with the big bang?
It didn't. The universe formed with the Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago. Our solar system didn't form until about 4.6 billion years ago.
