Answer:

According to various scientific studies, the Moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago. The leading theory is that a Mars-sized body collided with Earth, and the resulting debris from Earth and the impactor accumulated to form the Moon. However, in July 2020, scientists reported that the Moon formed about 4.425 billion years ago, about 85 million years earlier than earlier thought was formed.
