Ha Ha ....
Duh!! how can one tell exactly the date of birth of moon???

Moon was probably created when a planet the size of Mars walloped into the young Earth about 4.5 billion years ago.

The Moon has been circling the Earth for more than four billion years.

You cant acertain it to be the MONTH OF JUNR OR JULY!!

Huh? The moon was 'born' billions of years ago when an object about the size of Mars slammed into Earth. Are you asking about phases of the moon? The moon goes through one complete cycle (..new moon to full moon..) every month.

Moon is believed to be older than even Planet Earth itself. So dear how can one tell you the exact date.

"The Moon is older than the centre of the Earth"
- quote from http://www.istc.ru/istc/sc.nsf/news/20060621-17

"Age of Lunar Material
The abundances of radioactive elements in rock samples can be used to tell the age of the rock in a process called Radioactive Dating. When such techniques are applied to the Lunar rock samples, one finds the following:

1. Samples from Mare Imbrium and the Ocean of Storms brought back by Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 are about 3.5 billion years old, which is comparable to the oldest rocks found on the surface of the Earth.

2. The ejecta blanket from the Imbrium Basin (which was formed by a gigantic meteor impact) was returned by Apollo 14 and found to be about 3.9 billion years old.

3. Lunar Highlands rocks returned by Apollo 16 are about 4 billion years old. The oldest Lunar rock found was located by Apollo 17 and appears to be about 4.5 billion years old.

Thus, the oldest material from the surface of the Moon is almost as old as we believe the Solar System to be. This is more than a billion years older than the oldest Earth rocks that have been found. Thus, the material brought back from the Moon by the Apollo missions gives us a window on the very early history of our Solar System that would be difficult the find on the Earth, which is geologically active and has consequently has obliterated its early geological history."

Please make it more clear what exactly your question is...
