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.

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.
How do scientists think the earths moon was formed?
Scientists widely believe that the Earth's Moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago through a giant impact hypothesis. This theory suggests that a Mars-sized body, often referred to as Theia, collided with the early Earth, ejecting a significant amount of debris into orbit. This debris eventually coalesced to form the Moon. Additional evidence supporting this theory includes the similarities in isotopic compositions between Earth and Moon rocks.

Explain how scientist think the moon was originated?
No one really knows how the Moon was formed. There are a few different hypothesis but not all scientists agree on one. Wikipedia has a short version of 4 of them.
Why do scientists think the moon came from the Pacific ocean?
Scientists don't think the moon came from the Pacific Ocean. Instead, the leading hypothesis is that the moon was formed from a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized object called Theia, about 4.5 billion years ago. This collision would have ejected debris that eventually coalesced to form the moon.

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.
Describe one theory that scientists believe the Moon formed?
