Although the exact cause of the moon's formation isn't known, the currently accepted cause was a giant impact called the Big Splash. This posits that a Mars-sized body collided with the newly-formed Earth sending material into orbit around it.

Explain the various stages in the formation of the moon?

The most widely accepted theory for the formation of the Moon is the Giant Impact Hypothesis. According to this theory, a Mars-sized object collided with the early Earth, causing debris to be ejected into space. This debris eventually coalesced to form the Moon. The stages include the impact event itself, the formation of a debris disk around the Earth, and the accretion of this material to form the Moon.
