How can radiometric dating of meteorites determine the age of the earth? Wouldn’t this only determine the age of the decaying nuclide in each rock?
Natural EnvironmentsSo, how do we know how old Earth is? You might be surprised to learn that the answer comes from space rocks – meteorites! These aren’t just random chunks of space debris; they’re like time capsules from the very beginning of our solar system. And by using radiometric dating on them, we can get a
