Many scientists do not believe so.
Back when the Earth was cooling down and becoming a solid mass without scorching lava and burning temperatures, an asteroid was thought to hit the premature Earth. The asteroid became part of the Earth, and the material that was ejected from Earth formed its own mass, the Moon. The Moon became a mass and started orbiting the Earth, since the ejected material was not very far away from Earth.
Thus, in Earth's early days, it did not have a moon.
What else can I help you with?
Why isn't there 2 eclipses every time the moon orbits the earth?
Because the sun, moon and earth are not always in alignment. The moon does not orbit the earth about the earths equator. The earths axis is tilted so the orbit around the sun does not always align with that of the moons orbit around the earth
Is the moon in earths orbit?
Yes.
Is the earths orbit around the sun a cause of the phases of the moon?
No. The moon's orbit around the earth is.
What is the earths axis parallel to?
orbit of the moon
Why does the Earths orbit?
Moon and earth distance
Is held in its orbit by the Earths gravity?
the moon
What keeps the earths moon in orbit?
gravityy brew XD
How long will it take the moon to leave the earths gravity?
It takes the moon 27.322 days to orbit the Earth. While the moon rotates, the moon also rotates. Due to this rotation, we always see the same side of the moon.
How does Earth has gravity?
the earths gravitational pull keeps the moon in orbit
Is the earth's natural satellite the sun?
no, the moon is the Earths natural satellite, the moon is in orbit around the Earth. The whole Earth/Moon system is then in orbit around the sun.
Is the moon's orbit the same as the earths orbit around the sun?
not quite. The moon circles the Earth, which circles the sun. So the moon's orbit around the sun isn't a smooth track, but consist of a wave like pattern.
Which is larger the earth or the earths orbit?
the earths orbit because the earths orbit is the size of earth + the size of the moon
