Why do geologists use the radiometric age of meteorites as a guide to age of the solar system?
◦ The meteorites have been isolated in the cold vacuum of space since their formation, so they have seen no significant heating since the time of their formation.
◦ The meteorites date the time of formation of a dead planet and don't have anything to do with the age of the solar system.
◦ The geologists are guessing because they yield some of the oldest radiometric ages.
◦ The meteorites have compositions close to Earth materials, so we assume they formed at the same time.
