Is that close to a trillion ?



It depends on where you come from.
In the UK a billion is 10^12. ie a million million (bi-million).
A trillion would be 10^18 (tri-million).

At least that's the way things used to be, now the US usage seems to have
mostly taken over.

The rings of Saturn are thought to be several hundred million years old.
That's much younger than the solar system but hardly young in the sense
that you are trying to find proof for.
