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.

What is the giant impact theory?
The giant impact theory proposes that the Moon was formed from debris created when a Mars-sized body collided with Earth early in its history. This collision would have ejected material into space that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This theory is supported by evidence from lunar samples and computer simulations.
What is the most widely accepted idea about the origin of the moon?
The moon resulted when a large body struck Earth.
How big is planet NASA?
Sorry to say but NASA is not a planet! NASA is an organization that studies the planets!
How does the gravity of the planet vary with the distance of the their mass?
The gravity of a planet decreases with increasing distance from its center due to the inverse-square law, which states that gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two masses. As you move farther away from the planet's mass, the gravitational pull weakens, causing objects to experience less gravitational attraction. This means that at greater distances from the planet, an object will weigh less than it would closer to the surface.
Is Pluto a planet or a star?
There is some debate among astronomers whether Pluto is a planet (vs. an asteroid or some such), but it is definitely not a star.[EDIT] (from a completely different guy :P)Pluto is not considered a planet nor a star. A planet can be defined as:- An object orbiting around the sun(CHECK)- Needs enough gravitational force to pull itself into a spherical shape (CHECK)- Needs it's own orbit with no other object on it's orbit(BUMMER :P)As long as an object in the solar system does not meet the third point (but meets the other two points), it is considered a 'dwarf planet'...FYI (for your info):There are other objects (or dwarf planets) in Pluto's orbit (like: Eris, Sedna, Orcus...), so as long as Pluto does not crush into all of them and add up it's mass, it won't be considered a 'planet'. In other words, Pluto may be a planet sometimein the future.By: Animefanrarr
Explain the impact theory?
the impact theory states that the moon is formed billions of years ago from condensing gas and debris was thrown off when earth collided with a mars sized object
What is the giant impact theory?
The giant impact theory proposes that the Moon was formed from debris created when a Mars-sized body collided with Earth early in its history. This collision would have ejected material into space that eventually coalesced to form the Moon. This theory is supported by evidence from lunar samples and computer simulations.
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.
