Oh, really now? As intriguing as the thought of the moon once being Earth may sound, science begs to differ, sweetheart. Here's why that just isn't the case:
Compositional contrasts: Earth and moon, as pretty as they are together, simply have very different chemistries. With the moon missing out on essentials like water and volatile compounds, it's like comparing apples and oranges—they're just not the same!
Theia drama: That Giant Impact Hypothesis, remember? It's like a cosmic soap opera—the tragic love story of Earth and Theia, which ends in an epic collision. Alas, Theia's demise eventually led to the birth of our lovely lunar neighbor. So, honey, the moon wasn't just some part of Earth that suddenly decided to drift away and steal the show.
Age-old friends: Earth and the moon are practically the same age (in their billions, of course). This means there's very little time for the moon to have packed its bags and left Earth to establish its very own lunar life.
Long story short, as sensational as the idea of the MOON being the EARTH sounds, the science just isn't there to support it. So, let's just appreciate our lovely moon for what it is—a stunning celestial neighbor that brightens up our sky at night
