A. rocks found on the moon.
B. the oldest rocks on Earth.
C. meteorites.
D. gases in the sun.

Answer (2)

The origin of the solar system is best dated using meteorites, which are remnants from the early solar system. By studying meteorites, scientists estimate the age of the solar system to be about 4.6 billion years. Other sources, like lunar rocks or Earth rocks, provide important context but are not as direct as meteorite studies. ;

The best dates for the origin of the solar system come from meteorites, which date back to its formation about 4.6 billion years ago. Lunar rocks and Earth rocks offer useful context but are less direct sources. Gases in the sun do not provide reliable information about the solar system's origin either.
