About 4.5 billion years ago, shortly after the sun "turned on". Earth was largely molten at first, and a big chunk of it was torn off by a probable impact with some other body about the size of Mars. Most astronomers today believe that is how our moon was formed. The first 500 million years or so of our solar system was a "demolition derby" of things smashing together.
What else can I help you with?
Scientists believe that earth and the other planets formed?
first era was the Precambrian
What do most scientists believe is the origin of the moons?
Scientist theorize that a planet-sized object collided with earth and the moon formed
Why do you think scientists use models to study the movements of earth and it's moon?
to tellif its day or night
When and how do most scientists think the moon was created?
Most scientists believe that the Moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago when a large Mars-sized object collided with Earth, ejecting material that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This is known as the giant impact hypothesis.
What have scientists theorized about how the moon formed?
nothing
Scientists think the moon was formed when?
a large object struck Earth, and ejected material from the collision combined.
When do scientists think the asteroids orginated?
At the same time that the Earth (and the other planets) formed : 4.5 billion years ago.
How long ago do scientists think the earth formed?
Scientists estimate that the Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago. This estimate is based on dating of rocks and meteorites, as well as analysis of the solar system's formation.
What is a scientists opinion on Jesus?
they don tthink he is real, nor God, they think the big bang created the earth and that we were formed from monkeys
When do scientist think the earth was formed?
Scientists believe that the Earth was formed around 4.6 billion years ago through the accumulation of dust and gas in the early solar system. This age estimate is based on radiometric dating of meteorites and rocks from Earth.
How do scientists think that Earth's oceans formed?
Scientists believe that Earth's oceans formed about 4 billion years ago through a process called "outgassing," where water vapor and other gases were released from the Earth's interior through volcanic activity. As the Earth cooled, the water vapor condensed and fell as rain, filling the low-lying areas to create the oceans.
What cause Earth plates?
The Earth's plates were caused by natural reasons and cannot be explained. Scientists think that the plates were formed as a result of Earth first expanding as it was heated in the Great Bombardment and then shrinking as it cooled.
When was Barbados Formed?
Scientists think that Barbados was formed about almost a million years ago.
How and when do scientists think your solar systeam was formed?
When science was gored
When were the inner layers of the Earth created?
"Scientists think that about 4.6 billion years ago, Earth formed as bits of material collided and stuck together" so over the next couple of years the earth formed the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, lithosphere, and the asthensphere.
How did you think the earth and the solar system were formed?
it was all formed by me
When the earth was formed what did the scientists think it was covered with?
water and land, they knew it was land because they were standing on it and they knew it was sea bercause they got drenched by it while sunbathing on the beach.
