What is the Giant Impact Hypothesis?

• A theory that suggests the Moon was formed from the debris of a collision between Earth and a Jupiter-sized body.

• A scientific theory that suggests the Moon was formed from the debris of a collision between Earth and a Mars-sized body.

• A hypothesis proposing that the Moon was created by a volcanic eruption on Earth.

• A scientific concept that states the Moon was brought to its current position by a passing comet.
