Form hypothesis to explain how this debris became the moon....................?

Question

Many scientists believe that the moon was formed from dust and debris either from earth or from somewhere else in the solar syste. Form hypothesis to explain how this debris became the moon.

Answer 1

The most widely accepted theory about where our moon came from is that not long after Earth formed it was impacted by an object about the size of Mars. The debris from that impact formed a ring around Earth for a time, and then gradually coalesced into the solid, spherical object we call the moon.

Answer 2

A hypothesis has 2 parts, the belief statement and the part that changes (or changed). One thing scientists believe is that a large asteroid hit Earth when it was young and some of its molten material broke off to become the moon.
(Belief) When _______________occurred then the moon _____.

P.S. The Grand Canyon is eroded by years of running water. The moon is as big as the USA (3,000 mile) the Grand Canyon is only 277 miles long, 1 mile deep

Answer 3

Best guess now is "giant impact" which sent portions of the earth into space. Since the moon and the earth have the same oxygen isotope, the origin of the moon is more likely the earth than from a different location with different oxygen isotopes.

Answer 4

The entire solar system was formed from debris. Gravity pulls it together to form the sun, planets, moons.

Answer 5

Moon is what's missing in the Grand Canyon. A collision and part of the Earth and the Grand Canyon (Moon) are still attracted to one another. I saw a cartoon about that.

Answer 6

the earth was hit twice by the same asteroid or comet and the rock and such went into orbit only to be drawn together by gravity and formed the moon because this happened life on earth as we know it occurred without the moon there would be no life on earth

Answer 7

ROFLMAO!! The Grand Canyon is 1 MILE DEEP!! You think that's enough for the moon??!?! You kill me...
