The most popular theory for the formation of our moon is the theory that a giant planetoid crashed into earth during the early period of the formation of our solar system. It is believed that an object the size of mars collided with the earth (long before any life or oceans) and then went into orbit around our planet. It would have lost a lot of it's mass during the collision, a lot of it remaining on earth and a lot escaping back into space.
