That depends on what kind of answer you want.

- Scientific answer: Earth formed by natural processes about 4.54 billion years ago from the solar nebula — a disk of gas and dust left after the Sun formed. Small particles stuck together to make planetesimals, which collided and merged into planets (accretion). Early Earth melted and differentiated into core, mantle and crust; a Mars-sized body (often called Theia) probably struck Earth and the debris formed the Moon. This is the mainstream explanation in astronomy and geology.

- Religious/mythological answers: Many faiths and cultures say a deity or deities created the Earth. For example, in Judaism, Christianity and Islam God created the world; in Hindu traditions creation stories involve Brahma and cyclical universes; Greek myth speaks of Gaia; many indigenous traditions have their own creation myths. Those accounts differ in details and purpose from the scientific story.

If you want, I can give more detail on the nebular hypothesis and planetary formation, or summarize specific religious creation stories. Which would you prefer?
