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.
