How Our Moon Was Formed:

Billions of years ago the Moon was formed.
Here it goes...

A young Earth was growing. But a proto-planet the size of Mars was approaching the Earth. It was getting closer and closer and closer until suddenly it collided into the Earth! It was a high impact!

The Earth absorbed a lot of the proto-planet. But what happened to the rest of it...
The rest of it became debris. That debris started forming into a ball because gravity pulled it in making it collect everything that went past it. Soon it started to orbit the Earth.

Would we be able to live without a moon?

We wouldn't be able to live without a Moon because at night time we wouldn't have anything that would absorb the Sun's light so we wouldn't be able to see anything at night.
