What is one drawback of the fission theory of the Moon's origin?

if moon is formed like fission theory i.e. "moon is the part of the earth"
so the drawback is that how centripetal force is greater like that it eject some mass.and if we agree this that moon is formed due to centrifugal force of earth so the point is that the centrifugal force is maximum near the equator and moon should lies on the equatorial plane but it is not.

What theory best explains the moons origin?
Giant Impact Theory which tells that a very big asteroid named 'theia' hit earth in a long time ago resulting a large debris ring which later formed moon....
Why is the moons rotation period longer then Earths?
An asteroid/meteor impact is one theory. The truth is that nobody knows for sure, just like the exact origin of the moon is not known for certain.
What piece of evidence suggests that the Martian moons did not form with Mars?
The origin of Mars' moons is fairly controversial, and it's far from settled exactly where they came from.
What do most scientists believe is the origin of the moons?
Scientist theorize that a planet-sized object collided with earth and the moon formed
Venus has how many moons?
Venus has no moons. It may have had some before but now it has no moons.
What evidence provides support for the nebular theory?
.can't explain the origin of the cloud .how would cloud stick together? .some planets and moons spin backwards

What is the current theory for the origin of earths moons?
the giant impact hypothesis is currently the accepted theory. It basically says that a large asteroid collided with the earth, knocking debris from the earth into space. this debris then formed together over time to form the moon.
What is scientists theory that two moons collided to form earth's moon is called?
unified theory
What is Pluto's origin?
Pluto was one of Neptune's moons that somehow escaped its orbit.
What theory is currently accepted as explaining the moons theory?
The impact theory. The idea is that the Earth was hit by a large object and the Moon formed from the debris.
What piece of evidence suggests that the Martian moons did not form with Mars?
The origin of Mars' moons is fairly controversial, and it's far from settled exactly where they came from.
Does our moon have the same elements as mar's moons?
Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Their origin and composition are uncertain. One theory is impact disruption, similar to current theories regarding Earth's own moon's origin. Phobos appears to have a porous interior, suggesting phyllosilicates and other minerals known from Mars Another theory is asteroid capture, but their orbital characteristics are unusual for captured objects. Also, while visible and near-infared spectral anaysis of the moons is consistent with outer belt asteriods, infared spectral analysis of phobos is not consistent with meterorites of any kind.

How many moons orbit Venus?
The planet Venus has no moons at all.
Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.
What year did Pluto acquire its moons?
Nobody knows. There isn't even enough information to form a theory.
