How was the moon

formed?

The giant impact hypothesis states that the Moon was created out of the debris left over from a collision between the Earth and a Mars-sized body, sometime around 4 and a half billion years ago. It is the leading hypothesis supported by scientist right now.

This is how they think the giant impact happened .

FUN FACTS

Did you know that the surface of the moon is -9 F.

Buy moon pies today. Their a delight in every bite.

There are eight different phases of the moon.

FUN FACT: The moon is 225,632 miles away from the earth.

The moon makes a complete orbit around the earth in about 27.3 days.

However, since the Earth is moving in its orbit about the Sun at the same time, it takes slightly longer for the Moon to show the same phase to Earth, which is about 29.5 days.

Every day the moon moves 10cm a day away from earth.

Moon boots! Take a step into space.

MOON EARTH

The moon consist of a crust, mantle , and core much like earth but are thinner. They consist of mostly metal and rock.

The gravity on the moon is 1/6th of the earths gravity

Obviously earth has oxygen therefore things like plants and animals can live on it also it has water.

The earth is 13,007,544,637,490,199,753,916,416 pounds larger the moon.
