New research
SLOTXOsuggests that Our Earth's Moon is caused by a collision with objects in space, and the Moon also takes 10% to 60% of the atmosphere from Earth.
Most scientists believe that about 4 billion years ago, while the Earth was still formed, A large object the size of Mars struck Earth. Send particles that have become vaporized from that collision into space. Which later merged through gravity to become the moon
"Impact hypothesis" is one of the three main theories of the moon's origin. Other theories suggest that the Moon formed around the same time as the Earth. Or captured by the Earth's gravitational field as it travels through space.
In a new study published in the journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters researchers recently focused on the theory of collisions by modeling the collisions of large objects with rocky planets with more than 300 computer-like sparse atmospheres. Where objects hit the world Crash speed As well as the size and mass of objects that collide with each other
Previous research suggests that A collision at the end of the Earth's formation could affect the Earth's atmosphere. Modeling in this study shows that The same collisions that can create the moon May cause the world to lose a significant part of the atmosphere
Jacob Kegerreis, a cosmologist at Durham University who led the study, said that although the computer simulations do not directly explain how the moon was created, it would be possible. But the study of the effect on Earth's atmosphere could be used to narrow the explanation for the formation of the moon for future studies.
