“Meteorites are older than any rock original to earth. They’re believed to be as old as the solar system, around 5 billion years.”
The Earth is part of the Solar System, so why would a rock from the same system of necessity be older?

I should have said any rock FOUND on earth today. Because earth continually changes, various natural processes destroyed the original rocks. ie, via metamorphism they were transformed into new and different kinds of rocks, with different (younger) recorded ages.
