... The Sun and the Moon PROPERTIES OF THE MOON The Moon is about the same age as the Earth and is the fifth-largest moon in the Solar System. Theories of how it formed include: 1) It was torn out of the Earth by a collision with an asteroid; 2) It was formed elsewhere and was gravitationally captured ...
