Our moon is the largest satellite in the solar system when compared to the planet it orbits, the Earth. The Moon is bigger than Pluto. Our Moon has been a stabilizing factor for the axis of rotation of the Earth, greatly decreasing Earth`s wobble as it circles the sun. Without our large moon, the Earth would experience dramatically increased climate changes that would make life as we know it improbable. (http://www.astrobio.net/) There are various theories about how the Moon was created, but recent evidence indicates it formed when a huge collision tore a chunk of the Earth away.
