There is no geologic activity or weathering on the moon to break rocks down, so most of the rocks on the moon are nearly as old as the moon itself. Earth is geologically active and has processes that will destroy and recycle rocks. None of the rocks that made up Earth's original surface are still intact.

Why are there rocks on the moon that are older than any rock on earth?

Why are the rocks on the moon that are older than any of any rocks on us?
Because
Why are rocks on the moon older than any rocks on earth?
On Earth, plate tectonics and erosion have removed all of the rock that was originally surface rock, exposing the underlying crustal rocks and releasing magma to form new igneous formations. On the Moon, neither process is at work. Meteoroids striking the Moon have piled the rocks up and created a layer of fine powder there, but the exterior rocks are still those that formed shortly after the Moon itself.
What portion of the Moon's rocks is gold?
Zero. No gold was found in any of the rocks that have been brought back to earth.
If you take rocks from the earth or moon?
If you take rocks from the Earth, it is considered legal as long as you are not violating any environmental laws or collecting from protected areas. However, if you take rocks from the Moon, it would not be legal without permission from the appropriate authorities as the Moon is governed by international treaties and agreements.
How would the side of the moon that faces us have craters at all if it is facing us here on earth?
Space rocks can come from any direction; they can miss the Earth and then whack the Moon's nearside.
Is there any thing on the moon?
Yes, there are rocks on the moon!
If the moon is round why doesn't any of the sand fall to the earth?
The Moon has its own gravity, and any lunar dust kicked up by a meteoroid striking the Moon will fall back to the Moon. However, there have been "Moon rocks" found on Earth when a large body struck the Moon at high velocity, and boosted a rock from the surface of the Moon into near-Earth space, and the rock subsequently fell to Earth.In fact, scientists have found MARS rocks on the Antarctic ice, apparently thrown into space by some massive impact or explosion on Mars millions of years ago.
What are the moon rocks brought to earth by the Apollo missions?
... they are "Lunar material": rocks, stone, sand and dust of basaltic typ. They are much older than the any rocks found on the surface of the Earth being more than 1 billion years old from active volcanoes that once raged there. There is also a lot of alien dust from comets and meteors.
Is there any moon on earth?
There is no moon on Earth, but there is one orbiting it; we call it the moon.
Is the earths gravitational pull significant on an astronaut standing on the moon?
The astronaut on the Moon will be in free-fall round the Earth, just like the rocks round him/her and all the rest of the Moon as well. So the astronaut won't feel any force.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
