Question
from what material did the moon form?
material from earth
material from the sun
material from mars
material from comets
The leading scientific theory, the Giant Impact Hypothesis, suggests that a Mars - sized body (Theia) collided with the early Earth. The debris from this collision (material from Earth and Theia) coalesced to form the Moon. The other options are not supported by current scientific evidence. Material from the Sun would be too hot and in a different part of the solar system formation process. Mars is too far and there is no evidence of material transfer in that way for moon - formation. Comets have different compositions and their material contribution to moon - formation is not indicated by current theories.
