yes but that would add energy to the moon's orbit
Many asteroids have hit the moon. That's why it's covered in craters.
No. The moon is large enough that even a collision with the solar system's largest asteroid would not destroy it.
An asteroid had hit Earth and knocked of a chunk that is now called the moon.
Asteroid's hitting the moon is a completely random event. However, if an asteroid was flying past the moon, gravity may pull it towards the surface.
No. An asteroid can get captured by an asteroid and become a moon, but not the moon. Our moon is too large to be considered an asteroid.
The first confirmed case of an asteroid orbiting another asteroid is the asteroid Ida which is orbited by a smaller asteroid orbiting it called Dactyl; other asteroid moons have been found since.
Earthโs Moon is far from the Astroid belt. However, the main belt astroid Ida has its own moon called Dactyl.
if a meteor hit earth and a piece of earth (the moon) chipped off. earths gravitational pull could be sufficient to make the moon orbit around the earth.
No, the Moon is made up of debris that came from an asteroid that hit the Earth which supposedly caused the Earth's 23.5 degree tilt.
asteroid
No, its an asteroid but it has a moon called Dactyl
Earth's chance: 15% Moons chance: 50%
