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.

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).
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.
What happens to winter temperatures in the northern hemisphere if tilt angle decreases to 22 degrees?
The earth has three motions around the sun. One is a wobble like a top. One is a change in the tilt angle. And one is the fact that the earth does not orbit the sun but it orbits the center of gravity of the solar system. When the earth has both the minimum tilt angle and the wobble is such that the closest distance to the sun in the northern hemisphere occurs in summer, an ice age occurs. When the earth has maximum tilt angle and the northern hemisphere was closest to the sun in winter, the ice ages end.
What is the age of responsibility in the California juvenile justice system?
The minimum age of responsibility in the California juvenile justice system is the minimum age of 8 years.
How months between the closest births of Duggar children?
The Duggar children closest in age are the twins, as they were only born minutes apart. Other than the twins, the closest births are Jordyn and Josie, at 8 days less than a year. Jordyn was born on December 18, 2008, and Josie was born on December 10, 2008. However, Josie was born four months premature, so if she was born on or around her due date, they would not be the closest in age.
Which of these is closest to the age of your solar system?
The Solar System is about 4.6 billion years old.
What do meteorites reveal about the ago of the solar system?
Age of our solar system (~4.6bya)
What age is your solar system?
The approximate age of the solar system based on the oldest rocks that have been analyzed is 4.56 billion years.
Which is older the solar system or the earth?
The Earth is part of the Solar System, so they are of the same age.
Why scientist say that your solar system created 65 million years ago?
They don't. Do some reading on the Solar System (for example, in Wikipedia); the current estimate for the age of the Solar System is between 4-5 billion years.They don't.

Are comets older than our solar system?
No. Most comets are about the same age as the solar system as they formed with it.
What is planet 4.6 billion years old?
That's the age of our Solar System, so you can expect all the planets in our Solar System to have approximately that age.
What does the age of the lunar rocks tell us about our solar system?
They tell us the age of the moon, which indicates when the Solar System itself was being formed.
