Is the Moon a chunk of Earth that went flying off at one point during The Big Bang or something?

There are MANY theories but so far they are all just "Theories". Some of these seem to make sense and seem to be supported by various such theories but to-date NONE have been proven to be absolutely correct.

And how come all of our planets are so d@mn ROUND? Why are they all perfectly spherical? Is that because of our Sun’s gravitational pull?

It is due almost primarily due to GRAVITY. You can say erosion but that is just a product of GRAVITY. You can say it is it is due to the spin but then again that is due to GRAVITY.

(Bet you didn’t know a hayseed like me could even SPELL ‘spherical,’ LOL!)

It just so happens that I personally know many hayseeds. Some even consider me one such individual - hayseed (that is).

And does the ‘Sun’ have a name? Does the ‘Moon’ have a name?

The SUN is called "SOL" or just "The Sun". In other languages and religions they gave it different names - to many to waste my time enumerating.

The MOON is called "The Moon" or "Luna". AGAIN - Different languages and different religions gave it different names.

Thank you all for the enlightenment. This is one interesting area I need to study up on!
