question 10 of 10
what is the primary evidence used to determine the age of the solar system?
a. the craters on the moon
b. rock samples from the moon
c. rock samples from earth
d. gas samples from the sun
Scientists use radioactive - dating of rock samples from the Moon. These samples are believed to have formed around the same time as the rest of the solar system. The craters on the Moon don't directly determine the age of the solar system. Rock samples from Earth have been re - cycled due to geological processes and are not as reliable for determining the age of the solar system. Gas samples from the Sun are difficult to obtain and not the primary evidence for the age of the solar system.
