Answer 1

A meteor probably crashed into Earth, or some other high-impact phenomenon that caused parts of Earth to break off. The parts came together because the largest part had a gravitational pull, and, since the Earth as a strong gravitational pull, the piece started to orbit around Earth.
Or they could've just had an argument over what to have for dinner. =^^=

Answer 2

Good question! I'm not sure what precipitated it, RAVI might be right. But I think the sun's gravitational pull had a great part in the formation, it is no coincidence that the moon diameter eclipse the suns almost 100%. I think the moon was pull away in the molten state, it is hollow like a geode. Also look at a globe the Pacific ocean and the Pacific Rim and you'll see where the moon came from.

Answer 3

In the early solar system there was a planet-size object called Orpheus which collided with what was called Earth Moch-1. After they collided a huge piece blasted off and then crashed again. On the second crash a smaller peice was set off (our Moon) and is slowly moving away. What was left after the second collision was The Moon and Earth Moch-2 (Earth). Yes we are sure because the lunar composition of the rock dissproved the other three theories. Can we be 100% sure? Of course not, because we can not travel back in time and see it happen.

Answer 4

The leading hypothesis is that the Moon was formed when another body impacted the Earth.
