The moon was created when a large planetary object collided with the young Earth. Earth's gravity kept some of the matter around it's orbit and the moon eventually became a spher, due to it's own gravity.

The leading scientific theory is that the Moon was formed from debris left over after a celestial body, possibly the size of Mars, collided with Earth early in its history. This collision would have ejected material that eventually coalesced to form the Moon.
