Why are lunar rocks also used to help study the early history of Earth?

The Moon rocks show that the lunar surface is very ancient. Its rocks are older than most of the rocks now found on Earth, and the Moon has preserved a record of the earliest history of the formation and development of the planets.

Hope this helps : )
