Why would a meteorologist use meteorites and lunar rocks to find out the age of the earth?
Scientists have this theory on how the moon was formed: They believe that when the Earth was still a bubbly hot lava thing, something the size of Mars struck Earth, and bits and specks of particles flew everywhere. Gravity pulls it together, and it makes the Moon. Scientists think of this as the best logical theory as to how the Moon was formed, and that the Earth could be just a bit older than the Moon.

That is what Earth is made of.
