The close similarity of the Moon's composition and the Earth's crust suggest that they had a common formation. One theory is that a large co-orbiting planetoid struck the Earth after the heavier elements had already formed the core (Giant Impact or Massive Collider theory). Some of the collider's exterior and some of the Earth's outer layers were smashed loose and coalesced into the Moon, which gradually moved farther from the Earth.
Because the isotopic composition of lunar crust proved to be practically identical to Earth's, the Giant Impact may have involved two smaller proto-Earths instead, whose compositions then combined.
What else can I help you with?
Are the moon and the sun the same distance from earth?
No, the moon and the sun are not the same distance from Earth. The average distance from the Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles, while the average distance from the Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.
Has the moon always been the same distance from Earth?
No it has not, because the gravitational pull has not always been the same. It is closer to Earth than it ever has been before.
Why does it take the same time as the light from the sun to reach earth as it does for the moon?
It doesn't always do that. At some points in the Moon's orbit around the Earth, the distance from the Sun to the Moon and Earth is the same. At other points, the Moon is either closer or farther away from the Sun. But either way the distance between the Moon and Earth is so much smaller than the distance between the Sun and the Moon, that the difference in time becomes really, really tiny in comparison.
Why do the moon and sun seem the same distance from earth?
because to earth and moon are like next door neighbors so that it feel like the same distance but its not.
How moon moves?
The moon moves in its orbit around the Earth due to the gravitational force between the two bodies. This orbit is not circular but elliptical, causing the moon's distance from Earth to vary. Additionally, the moon rotates on its axis at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, resulting in the same side of the moon always facing Earth.
Is the moon or mars closter to the sun?
The moon is closer to the sun. Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is.
Why does the moon always look roughly the same size?
Because from your position on Earth, it is always roughly the same distance away from you.
Are the moon and the sun the same distance from earth?
No, the moon and the sun are not the same distance from Earth. The average distance from the Earth to the moon is about 238,855 miles, while the average distance from the Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.
Has the moon always been the same distance from Earth?
No it has not, because the gravitational pull has not always been the same. It is closer to Earth than it ever has been before.
What is the distance between earth and heaven?
In terms of physical measurement, the distance between Earth and heaven is not known as heaven is considered a spiritual or metaphysical realm, not a physical location in space. Different belief systems and cultures have their own interpretations of where or what heaven is.
Why does it take the same time as the light from the sun to reach earth as it does for the moon?

Why do the moon and sun seem the same distance from earth?
because to earth and moon are like next door neighbors so that it feel like the same distance but its not.
What is the reason why the same side of the moon always faces the earth?
The same side of the moon always faces the earth because of a phenomenon called tidal locking, where the moon's rotation period is the same as its orbit around the earth. This causes one side of the moon to always be facing towards the earth.
What do the earth and the moon have the same distance from?
each other

Are the moon and the sun the same distance from the earth?
No, the sun is much further away from the earth than the moon.
How far can the moon be from the sun?
Since the moon orbits Earth, it is always about the same distance from the sun as Earth is. At its farthest point (aphelion), Earth is about 94 million miles from the sun. The moon's orbit around Earth can add about 250,000 miles to that if it reaches its farthest point from Earth (apogee) during the full moon phase. This is a difference about 0.27% the Earth's distance tot he sun.
