How was the moon formed?
Question asked by: knowitall
How the moon formed is a good question. Over time the theories have abounded as to how the moon was formed, and what it consists of.
The current theory that seems to fit the facts the best is that it is actually very old earth rocks.
At some stage a huge collision took a massive chunk of rock out of the earth and flung it out into space - this rock became the moon.
