Is the Moon Older or the Earth Older?

As mentioned above, the conclusion is currently undecided: the Moon is older than the Earth based on the obtained lunar ore! But some scientists say that the moon is separated from the earth, and if this is the case, the age of the rocks of the earth and the moon will be the same!

But according to the birth of the planet, the earth is a little longer.

German and British scientists have estimated the age of the moon to be 4,527 million years old.

Scientists speculate that the age of the earth is around 4.6 billion years old, based on factors such as the age of the rocks and the formation of the rocks.

Scientists use a similar method, according to"Apollo"Lunar rock specimens retrieved from the moon by spacecraft determined the age of the moon to be between 4.5 billion and 4.6 billion years.

Upstairs, don't be irresponsible and casually ask other people's questions, okay...

There is no very definitive conclusion on this yet.

Judging from the fossils brought back by astronauts, the moon is 5.3 billion years old, while the earth is only 4.5 billion years old. So some scientists believe that the Moon is older than the Earth.

However, some scientists believe that the collected samples are most likely the age of other celestial bodies that crashed into the moon (the moon has many craters because of the impact), rather than the age of the moon itself, so the answer is not clear.

But the consensus so far is that the Moon is older than the Earth.

Before humans got their hands on the rocks and soil of the moon, humans never imagined that the moon might be older than the Earth. But after humans analyzed the rocks obtained from the moon, they were in trouble.

The analysis found that 99 percent of the rock specimens brought back from the moon were older than the 90 percent of the oldest rocks on Earth. The age of the first rock that Armstrong picked up after landing in the Silent Sea was 3.6 billion years old. Some of the other rocks are 4.3 billion, 4.6 billion and 4.5 billion years old, almost as old as the Earth and the solar system itself, because the Earth is 4.6 billion years old.

In comparison, the oldest rock on Earth is 3.7 billion years old. In 1973, a 5.3 billion-year-old lunar rock was determined at the World Lunar Symposium. Even more puzzling is the fact that these ancient rocks were mined from what scientists believe to be the youngest region on the moon.

Based on this evidence, some scientists have proposed that the Moon formed in interstellar space long, long before the formation of the Earth.

However, the rocks are still young compared to the soil around them. According to the analysis, the age of the soil is at least 1 billion years older than that of the rocks. At first glance, this sounds impossible, because scientists believe that these soils were formed after the crushing of rocks.

However, after measuring the chemical composition of the rocks and soil, scientists found that the soils had nothing to do with the rocks and appeared to have come from elsewhere.

As a result, for a time, the theory of alien moon and lunar spacecraft was very popular.

StillRecent studies have shown that the true age of the Moon ranges from 4.4 billion to 4.5 billion years old, almost the same age as the Earth。As for the "anomalous" phenomenon exhibited by the moon's rocks and soil, scientists believe that there is no atmosphere and no water on the surface of the moon, and the original conditions of the surface have been maintained to this day. In other words, the Moon has maintained its original form from its formation to the present day.

Unlike the earth, under the influence of the atmosphere, water, and various meteorological phenomena, the earth can no longer find its original form. At the same time, comparing the Earth's rocks and soil conditions with the Moon is itself an unscientific and inaccurate method. Therefore, the measurement of the chemical composition of the lunar soil does not accurately indicate the age of the moon.
