How is a moon formed?

A moon is a non-manmade celestial body orbiting a planet or asteroid. As u probably already know the earth has one moon, "the moon". We dont know exactly how it was made but there are different theories of how it was made and how other moons are made.

The two ways we currently know of how a moon can be formed is that it was made at the same time as its planet and has orbitet around it since it got created or it erlier was an asteroid or other celestial body captured by a planets gravity and started orbiting the planet. A moon is created in the same way as a planet, by smaller particles combining, gaining more and more mass and eventually becomming a moon.

A moon is formed through a process called "accretion," where smaller celestial objects, such as planetesimals or other debris, come together due to gravitational attraction. This accumulation of material eventually forms a moon orbiting a larger celestial body, such as a planet or a dwarf planet. Another method of moon formation is through a giant impact event, where a large object collides with a planet, causing debris to be ejected into space. This debris can then coalesce and form a moon orbiting the parent planet.
