Although there is debate about the moon, because it is made of much of the same material that the Earth is made of we think it may have broken off the Earth. There is speculation that the Pacific Ocean is so deep because the moon may have come from that part if we had collided with another body in space.
What else can I help you with?
What is the moon formed of?
The moon, believe it or not, once was full of lava. That is why there are so many holes in the moon.
What type of scienists studies fossils?
archaelogist
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
Where was maria on the moon formed?
The maria's on the moon were formed by meteors slamming into it.
Why do scientists believe that earth's rocks and the Moon's rocks are similar?
Scientists believe Earth's rocks and the Moon's rocks are similar because both were formed through similar processes, such as volcanic activity and impacts from asteroids. Additionally, studies of lunar samples brought back from moon missions show similarities in composition to certain rocks found on Earth.
How do scientist believe that our moon was formed?
Scientists believe that the Moon formed about 4.5 billion years ago through a process known as the giant impact hypothesis. This theory suggests that a Mars-sized body, often referred to as Theia, collided with the early Earth, ejecting a significant amount of debris into orbit. This debris eventually coalesced to form the Moon. Evidence supporting this hypothesis includes the similarities in isotopic compositions between Earth and Moon rocks.
Astronomers believe what was originally a part of earth?
Astronomers believe that the moon was originally a part of Earth that separated from it during a giant impact event early in the formation of the solar system. This theory, known as the Giant Impact Hypothesis, explains how the moon was formed and why it shares similar isotopic compositions with Earth.
What shape is the moon formed?
The moon is spherical.
What are protoplanets?
Protoplanets are very small planets, about the size of a moon. Astronomers believe these celestial objects are formed during the creation of a solar system.
How were the depressions on the moon formed?
The depressions on the moon are impact craters formed by collisions with asteroids and comets.
What was the solar system when the moon formed?
When the Moon was formed, the Solar System WAS already a solar system.
How were the moon and earth formed?
You could say that God created them. But if you don't believe in god, you can't really say that he made them. :P And in Science, it was said that the Earth and the Moon were separated from one celestial body that its contents are the Earth and the Moon itselves!
