When did the Moon first appear?
The Moon is thought to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago, not long after the formation of Earth. It likely formed from debris created when a Mars-sized object collided with Earth early in the Solar System's history.
How do we think Earth's Moon formed?
The prevailing theory is that the Moon was formed from debris created by a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body called Theia early in the history of the solar system. This collision resulted in the formation of the Moon from the debris that was ejected into space.
How long has the moon been around for?
Earth accreted about 4.55 billion years ago. The moon followed, likely from the oblique collision of a Mars-sized object with the Earth anywhere from about 30 - 70 million years afterward. This object, along with parts of the Earth, were vaporized with part of it entering orbit around the Earth, slowly condensing into our moon.
What came first the sun moon or earth?
Sun first, then the earth and moon formed at the same time around 4.65ga (billions of years ago) when a large moon-sized planet collided with the proto-earth/moon system.
When do scientists think the moon was formed?
The first rocks on the moon would have formed fairly soon after the accretion of material occurred following the collision between the Earth and the planetesimal with which it collided, roughly 4.5 billion years ago. Being a smaller celestial body, the surface of the moon cooled quicker than the surface of the Earth. The oldest Earth rocks discovered so far date to about 3.9 billion years ago. The oldest moon rocks would therefore be between 4.5 and 3.9 billion years of age.
How long ago was the moon created in millions of years?
The moon was formed about 4.8 billion years ago.
Is the earth to things?
a long time ago a plant crash into earth and it became earth and a piece of it become the moon
Is Earth's moon made of molten rock?
No. The molten rock which once constituted the moon was long ago solidified from cooling into igneous rock.

For how long were the first prokaryiotic cells on earth?
Since the earth was created around 5.5 billion years ago

Does earth's moon have active volcanoes?
Seismic events on the moon are naturally called moonquakes, not earthquakes. They occur, but are less common and less powerful than those on Earth. The moon has no volcanoes since the magma that was under its surface long ago solidified.
When was A Long Time Ago created?
A Long Time Ago was created in 1991.
When was Back Long Ago created?
Back Long Ago was created in 1969.
