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.
A scientist has a hypothesis that the moon broke off of another planet floated through space and got caught in the Earth's gravitational pull Does this hypothesis have the potential to become a the?
it has the potential to become a law.
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to what?
The moon is to the earth, as the earth is to the sun.
What is the hypothesis explaining why the moon has no liquid water?
Because the Moon has a very small surface area compared to other spacial geo-bodies, it has cooled down much faster than Earth. Any water on the moon would freeze.
What hypothesis explains why earth and the moon are about the same age?
Scientists hypothesize that earth formed at the same time as the other planets and the sun, roughly 4.6 billion years ago. It is said that Earth and a planet named Thea collided and most of Thea became Earth's molten core while the rest of it became what is now our moon.

What is the impact hypothesis?
The giant impact hypothesis states that the moon was formed after a planet called Thei slammed into the Earth right after the Earth came into existence.
What is the most widely accepted hypothesis of Earth's origin?
Another idea is that the Earth captured the Moon after its formation. ... The most widely accepted theory is that the Moon was formed.
What assumption is part of both the ptolemaic and copernican hypothesis?
The moon orbits the Earth in a month.
The idea that the moon's development began when the large object collided with earth is called what?
The Giant Impact Hypothesis
Are the dinosaurs the hypothesis of earth?
No, dinosaurs are neither a hypothesis nor is there a "hypothesis of Earth".
What other two names does the big splash go by regarding Earth and the Moon?
The most common term is probably "Giant Impact Hypothesis"; another term sometimes used is "Theia Impact (Hypothesis)", with "Theia" being the name of the proposed body that impacted the proto-Earth to "splash" out the Moon.
Name and discuss the hypothesis for the origin of the Earths moon?
There are several theories out there for the formation of the moon. The current most widely accpeted one is called the Giant Impact Hypothesis. The basic idea is that at some point after the young earth had formed but while the surface was still molten a Mars sized object collided with Earth and the material ejected and began orbiting the Earth. This material later formed the Moon.
A scientist has a hypothesis that the moon broke off of another planet floated through space and got caught in the Earth's gravitational pull Does this hypothesis have the potential to become a the?
it has the potential to become a law.
How did Earth aquire its Moon?
The current "best" answer is the Giant Impactor hypothesis. A proto-planet called "Theia" about the size of Mars is hypothesized to have struck the proto-Earth. This splattered a bunch of stuff out into space, where it coalesced to form the Moon.
What is the Hypothesis of the moon and tides?
The moon has just enough gravity to pull water to the sand of the beach. The moon has very little gravitational pull so it does not influence anything else on Earth. The tides are the only gravitational pull effect from the moon.
Explain the most widely-accepted hypothesis about how the Moon was formed?
The most widely accepted theory for how Earth's moon was formed is called the impact theory. It says that the moon formed from a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object about four and a half billion years ago.
