Question
which timescale is most accurate for our current model of the solar system?
a model of the solar system that begins 4.6 billion years ago
a model of the solar system that begins 1 billion years ago
a model of the solar system that begins 13.7 billion years ago
a model of the solar system that begins 10 million years ago
Current scientific understanding holds that the solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. The other time - scales are incorrect as 1 billion years ago is too recent, 13.7 billion years ago is around the time of the Big - Bang (not the solar system formation), and 10 million years ago is extremely recent for solar system formation.
