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. If the entire solar system was formed at the same time then all objects in the solar system are the same age. Using radioactive dating of meteorites scientists calculate how long it has been since the meteorite solidified and go based on that date.

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.

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.

That's the age of our Solar System, so you can expect all the planets in our Solar System to have approximately that age.

How do you know that the moon belongs in your Solar System?

Because it is within the limits of our solar system


What is a 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 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.
