The leading theory for the Moon's formation is the Giant Impact Hypothesis, which suggests that a Mars-sized body, often referred to as Theia, collided with the early Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. This catastrophic impact ejected a significant amount of debris into orbit around the Earth, which eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This theory is supported by isotopic similarities between Earth and Moon rocks, indicating a shared origin.
