How does the current model of the formation of earth's moon differ from the nebular model of moon formation?

In previous models, the moon either formed concurrently with Earth in its accretion disk, or was captured when its orbit crossed that of Earth's and was captured in Earth's gravitational field.

How does the composition of earths atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmospheres of the gas giant planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
Which planet is most like Earth in diameter and mass?
Venus is closest to the Earths size and mass - often referred to as Earths sister or twin planet. Venus' Mass is around 82% of Earths, while its diameter is a little smaller than Earths at around 95% of Earths.
Where is earths moon located?
earths moon is located basicly on the earths gravitational pull called the ionosphere which is the highest magnetic field of earth

Mars location in relation to other planets?
Mars is the fourth closest planet to the sun, after Earth, but before the asteroid belt (which comes before Jupiter). Mars is 227,936,640 km (141,633,263 miles) from the sun on average, around 1.5 times the Earth to sun distance. Mars is the furthest of the four inner, terrestrial planets from the sun.
