No. The moon formed after a planet-sized object collided with Earth.

Scientists theorize that a planet-sized object collided with earth to form the moon.
Scientist theorize that a planet-sized object collided with earth and the moon formed
The giant impact theory that the moon formed when Earth collided with another object named Theia that was roughly the size of Mars. The debris ejected into space later came together to form the moon.
Due to the fact that that was the way it was formed/collided with Earth (current theories sugges that the moon is a trapped object from another part of the solar system.)
It is small
A large object collided with the young earth early in its life. The impact threw rocks and dust into orbit of the earth. This clutter formed the moon over a period of time.
No. A crater is a depression in the ground created by an impact or explosion. The moon is an object in orbit around Earth. It is believed to have formed when another planet collided with Earth early in its history, but this impact did not leave a crater.
The giant impact theory that the moon formed when Earth collided with another object named Theia that was roughly the size of Mars. The debris ejected into space later came together to form the moon.
the impact theory states that the moon is formed billions of years ago from condensing gas and debris was thrown off when earth collided with a mars sized object
There are four main hypothesis for the formation of the moon. ; Fission hypothesis - The Moon broke off from the Earth ; Capture hypothesis - The Moon was captured ; Co-formation hypothesis - The Moon and Earth were created at the same time ; Giant Impact hypothesis - The Moon was created when a Mars sized object (Theia) crashed into the Earth.
