What is one of the accepted theories of the formation of the moon?
An early collision by (proto) Earth with a large protoplanet..
How would you describe the nebular hypothesis?
no
What theory states that the moon formed when a planet sized object collided with earth?
There are four main hypothesis for the formation of the moon. ; Fission hypothesis - The Moon broke off from the Earth ; Capture hypothesis - The Moon was captured ; Co-formation hypothesis - The Moon and Earth were created at the same time ; Giant Impact hypothesis - The Moon was created when a Mars sized object (Theia) crashed into the Earth.
The formation of the solar system from a huge cloud of dust and gases is called?
The nebular hypothesis
What happened to the protoplanet because of the heat?
This sucks jon haddad
Why photoplanet hyphothesis for the formation of the solar system?
I think you mean "protoplanet hypothesis". In fact, astronomers usually call it the Nebular Hypothesis A protoplanet is a planet-like object that hasn't fully developed into a planet. Why that hypothesis? It's because it is the best we have to describe the origin of the solar system according to the Laws of Physics.
What is the protoplanet?
The hypothesis states that during the formation of a star, the original nebula disk may be so massive that upon further contraction and flattening, it breaks into separate clouds (vortices) or protoplanets.

When was the moon first created?
No one was around at the time, so we're not really sure, but the current hypothesis in favor is called the "Giant Impact Hypothesis." It posits that a protoplanet about the same size as the current planet Mars struck the proto-Earth while it was still forming, and "splashed" a lot of rock off. This eventually formed the Moon, while the rest of this protoplanet (named Theia) joined with the Earth.
What describe the behavior of something in nature a law or a hypothesis?
Hypothesis
What is the scientific hypothesis for the formation of the universe?
the big bang
What is a protoplanet?
A whirling cloud of gas or dust that becomes a planet by condensation during formation of a solar system. As the central body, or protostar, of the system contracts and heats up
What is a hypothesis in physics?
The easiest way to describe a hypothesis is that it is an educated guess.
Describe three possible ways in which a hypothesis may rise?

How would you describe the nebular hypothesis?
no
Describe the experiment you would perform to test your hypothesis?
It depends entirely on what the hypothesis is.
