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 else can I help you with?
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
What is th earths moons called?
The Moon
Are mars moons larger than the earths?
No.
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
Earths moons and rings?
One moon, no rings.
What colors are earths two moons?
Red and green.
What is the percentage of the earths diameter from the moons diameter?
90/
Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?
Earth's core
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.

What is responsible for the earths moons phases?
Controlling the earth's tides.
How many moons would fit across the Earth?
4 moons would go across the earth, and 109 earths would go across the sun.
What is the theory for the origin of planetary ring particles?
The theory for the origin of planetary ring particles suggests that they are remnants of moons or asteroids that were shattered by collisions. Alternatively, they may also be the result of material that never fully coalesced into a moon due to gravitational forces from the planet.
