Is the moon not ours?

Question

I have an idea. In the early days Neptune and Uranus almost hit each other. Uranus was thown on it's side and moons went flying all over the place. One went back to Neptune but in reverse rotation. One went in orbit round the sun (Pluto) And one fell it towards the sun and we captured it as our moon. After all the moon is much to big to belong to the earth

Answer 1

You've got it! And all those astronomers missed the blindingly obvious!

Answer 2

You are right that it is too big to be a captured moon, but it used to be part of the Earth. An early impact tore away a lump of our top layers when the Earth was still forming. There is a great deal of evidence supporting this, from the composition of the moon being like the composition of the outer part of the Earth, to its orbit taking it further and further away from the Earth, to models that show an impact with the early Earth would have resulted in the Earth-Moon system we have today.

Answer 3

Well, as somebody pointed above there is another theory according to which, a meteor hit earth in the beginning phase of earth evolution (just like which make dinosaurs extinct) & created a huge energy wave due to which a massive chunk of earth was blown off due to the explosion. The crater which formed then is our Pacific Ocean & the chunk which was seprated in the Moon. We also find reasons to belive due some reasons :
1. The size of pacific ocean & the moon
2. The surface of bottom of ocean & moon a quite similar
3. The edges & rocks are also of same type.

Answer 4

Current thinking, is as others have previously said, is that the moon was made from a collision early in our planet's life. However, bear in mind, that it is also moving away from the earth by about 2 inches a year. Effectively it is on a course to leave our orbit so in that sence it is only on loan to us and will make its own journey. Without the moon very little life could survive!

Answer 5

A)as the earth was forming ,it was hit by a bigger chunk ,which split a piece off creating the moon

B)as the earth was forming another chunk off rock came along and just bounced of the earth and formed the moon

C)during the volcanic state of the earth ,a massive eruption sent a chunk into orbit creating the moon

D)after the earth was formed a meteorite came by and was pulled into earth orbit

Answer 6

The moon is actually a part of the earth and a proto-planet that was following in our orbit. Whilst the earth was being formed a another smaller planet was following in our orbit, named Theia by scientists. it's orbit became erratic and it started to speed up, collinding with us from behind. Debris from Theia mixed with that of the new Earth and created the moon that now orbits us.

Answer 7

I think that you may be right about the moon being far too big to belong to the earth, we do not have a strong enough magnetic field to keep it either as it is inching away from us as we speak although I would have thought that in this case Jupiter or Saturn would have claimed it first.

Answer 8

Good idea. Better than most I've heard of. Quite probable, too. However, the moon is not too big to belong to the earth, it could fit in the Pacific Ocean.

Answer 9

the most possible thing is that moon and eart are two gaint peieces of rocks created during the formation of our galaxy. they got pulled towards each other by gravity and the larger one that is earth finally stabilised by putting the moon in orbit. and they both reached the spherical shapes that are said to be perfect for a body to be in orbit(if it should not lose any mass)

Answer 10

No, the moon belongs to us. So shoo!

P.P.S.
Well, maybe one.

Answer 11

Your theory does not jive with the available data. Do you read Velikovsky too?
