Earth's Moon was formed approximately 100 million years after the solar system began forming, when a massive collision between early Earth and a Mars-sized object sent debris into space, which gravity then pulled together to create our natural satellite.

The Violent Birth of Moon ππ₯Added:
What if I tells you that when the planets in the solar system were just starting to form, Earth didn't have a moon for the longest time? It took a 100 million years for our natural satellite to appear. There are several theories as to how the moon came into existence, but the prevailing one is the fishing theory. Is that where somebody went fishing, caught the moon on a hook, and dragged it over into Earth's orbit?
No, I made that up. The fishing theory proposes that the moon was formed when an object collided with Earth, sending particles flying about. Gravity pulled the particles together and the moon was created. It eventually settled down onto Earth's ellip. Like, share and subscribe for more unreal facts like this.
