Theia - hypothetical planet , where the collision with the Earth , according to the giant impact theory , led to the formation of the moon .
According to this theory, Theia formed 4.6 billion years ago, like the other planets in our solar system , and was similar to Mars size.
The planet is named after Teyi ( Greek. Θεία ) - one of her sisters- she-titans in Greek mythology , the mother of Helios , Eos , and Selene (the goddess of the moon).
Theia - The planet that created the Moon
An interesting but where on earth is to trace the impact?more or less size of the moon...
ReplyDeleteThe reason there is no impact on the Earth is for the reason when Theia collided with Earth was because Earth was a giant mass of molten rock. So when Theia hit us, it was like hitting a water balloon instead a ball of clay. Only this water ballon sucked in the heavy elements of Theia. Hope that helps! :')
DeleteI think this the most possible version and rationally explained...I was sick of all these theory that alien or some big power built the moon but no proof!!
ReplyDeleteGrand Canyon that is your proof..
no no no Grand Canyon is much much younger then moon so it is not a good proof that the planet Theia hit Earth...
ReplyDeleteI think we dont need proof we have a moon!!!! and it is piece of Earth that`s why cooperated so great!!
