No.
It is believed that the moon was created by matter thrown off by the earth after an impact from a large (Mars-sized) object.
it is thought that this happened about 4.5 billion years ago, when the solar system was still very young.

Is the moon older then the sun or earth?
None. Both the sun AND earth are older than the moon. No. It appears that the Moon is slightly younger than the Earth. Current theory for its creation is that an object, a protoplanet about the size of Mars called Theia, struck the Earth during its early formation, ejecting matter that consolidated into the Moon. The Sun is older than both the Earth and Moon, but only by a small amount.
What is harder to do on the moon than on earth?
It is harder to walk on moon than on earth
How much wider is the moon than the earth?
The moon is not wider than the earth. Therefore, it can not be much wider than the earth.
What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?
"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).
WHY when the people go to the moon they become old?
Not sure what you are asking. But on the Moon: The Moon gravity is less than it is on Earth. So by the General Theory of Relativity, time on the Moon elapses faster than comparable time on Earth. So people on the Moon would theoretically age faster than they would on Earth. But...a big BUT...the difference in aging rate would be all but imperceptible. Perhaps you mean the people feel older when they return from the Moon. That would result because Moon walkers would find their muscles atrophying due to the lighter gravity. So when they get back to the greater gravity of Earth they are weak and have difficulty moving around...like an older person.

The earth is not younger than the moon

Why are the rocks on the moon found to be older than the rocks on the earth?
The moon does not have an active geological process which constantly recycles, and recreates itself. The earth does.
Which is older rocks found on the moon or rocks found on the earth?
Rocks found on the moon are older because of the lack of erosive forces there. Also, the moon would have cooled more quickly from a molten state than the much larger Earth.
What is bigger the moon or the earth?
Earth, by far.
What if the moon was bigger than earth?
If the moon was bigger than the Earth, than Earth would orbit it and, by our current definitions, it would be a moon.
What is the difference of moon and earth?
The moon is smaller than earth. The moon is on fourth of Earth, and has less gravity. You would weigh about one sixth on the moon than on the Earth.
What is harder to do on the moon than on earth?
It is harder to walk on moon than on earth
What are two differences in the earth from the moon?
The moon is very much smaller than the earth. The moon's atmosphere is thinner than the earth's.
How much wider is the moon than the earth?
The moon is not wider than the earth. Therefore, it can not be much wider than the earth.
