How did the Moon actually form?

The Moon is Earth's only permanent natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest natural satellite in the Solar System. And It looks so beautiful that people often compare it to their loved ones, in their songs....whatever! So, "how did it actually form?" and "which is actually younger?"

The Greeks were the first to study our satellite "Moon". But, modern scientific study of our neighbour began in 1609, and trust me there are many theories about its origin. The most popular one is "Giant Impact Hypothesis.

According to it,about 4.5 billion years ago, our Earth was hit by a large body which was about the size of mars. This impact blasted portions of the Earth into the Earth's orbit. The broken pieces gradually came together, along with the gas and dust which solidified, to form the Moon.

Molten lava then oozed out of their interior of the Moon for the next two billion years. So, thought the Moon is billions of years old, it is still younger than Earth!
