- Abstract:
The article presents a theory regarding the creation of Earth's moon and provides supporting evidence to prove the theory. It suggests that the moon was created due to the collision of a protoplanet called Theia with Earth and also gives a theory of multiple collisions presented by Raluca Rufu, planetary scientist at Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. It also presents a comparison between Earth's moon and the moons of other planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
