About 4.5 billion years ago, shortly after the sun "turned on". Earth was largely molten at first, and a big chunk of it was torn off by a probable impact with some other body about the size of Mars. Most astronomers today believe that is how our moon was formed. The first 500 million years or so of our solar system was a "demolition derby" of things smashing together.
