You've definitely got that right ! There's no debating the fact
that the result of a collision is often an impact.
a large object struck Earth, and ejected material from the collision combined.
If the MASS of the 1st Object in a COLLISION is too small to generate a FORCE large enough to overcome the INERTIA of the 2nd Object, then the more massive Object will not move. This could make it look like the more massive object is not REACTING to the Collision.
Scientists believe that when in the formation, it was hit by a large object after it differentiated and lost most of it's materials from outer layers (crust + mantle); leaving mostly iron. Another possibility is that it at that part of the disk from where it was formed had more iron than other areas.

When a large object collides with Earth, debris is ejected into orbit and can initially form a debris field or a ring system around the planet. Over time, this debris can combine and accrete to form moons, such as how our own Moon is believed to have formed from debris generated by a collision with a Mars-sized object early in Earth's history.
Uranus spins on its side, causing it to rotate like a top rather than spinning like most planets which rotate vertically. This unusual orientation is likely the result of a past collision with a large object.
It depends on how large the object is and where it lands. Haven't you seen disaster movies? A huge tidal wave it hits the ocean, massive explosion followed by a chilly nuclear winter, crazy flooding etc. etc. Maybe even the end of the world?
The idea that the moon formed from debris created by a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized object is called the Giant Impact Hypothesis. This theory suggests that material ejected from this collision eventually coalesced to form the moon.
Most of the large mountain ranges formed as a result of continental drift/collision, some of the smaller ranges were formed in other ways.

Astronomers aren't sure why. Uranus may have been involved in a collision with another large object. We don't know.

A large depression in earth cause by impact of an asteroid or other object from space.
When a large asteroid or meteoroid strikes Earth, it can create a crater due to the impact energy released upon collision. The size and depth of the crater depend on factors such as the size, speed, and angle of the incoming object, as well as the composition of the Earth's surface at the impact site.
The worst collision to be in would be a head-on collision, as it often results in severe injuries or fatalities due to the high impact forces involved. Additionally, collisions involving large commercial vehicles or multiple vehicles can also be particularly dangerous due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved.
