Earth's moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago when, according to one theory, the Earth slammed into another early planet. What fact about our moon did you find most interesting?
The fact that there is only one giant part stays around the earth after it slammed into another early planet. May be there was a lot. All got destroyed time by time. Maybe our moon is also dying? I mean everything is dying obviously. But relatively a little bit faster.
National Geographic I think the theroy is not acceptable because our planted crashing into another planet and forming the Moon sounds like science fiction.
1- how come we never hear about the Dark side of the Moon..?
2- how come the original theroy of our Solar system with the moon and sun is not fully mentioned and it's only this theroy?
3-what abt the Flat Earth believers?
Blow up the moon. It causes Havok on earths weather.
I have a question is the moon have magnetic field?
@@urielnathanmaranon6138 not sure..I know if your not weighted down...you can't walk on the moon .tiny gravity...defeys evertything about rotation to make gravitational pull...
Moon is underrated, I mean just look at it! It looks so magical, it's really hard to look away. A sphere with big craters on it that floats in the sky and creates mind blowing astronomical events such as eclipses.

Y’know Saturn and Jupiter can give me at least one of their moons like they have enough to share
Oh Hi Brother!
Saturn is monk living for that planet.
The fact I found most interesting was the largest crater, the Aitken basin is deep enough to hold Mount Everest. Another fact I really enjoyed learning was the surface of the Moon was once geologically active covered in an ocean of magma. From what I understand the Earth collided with a planet named Theia, so I wonder was the hot magma which flowed at one time on the Moon's surface a result of the violent collision.

@James Miler big brain
This whole solar system videos taught me more than school for half of a school year. Who else?

I'm in love with the moon always have been ...but i get jealous of other planets because of its moons ....of just imagining the sky how beautiful (even more) with maybe a other moon ...i don't know its just a fantasy of mind ....🌍🌙✨
Our moon is one of the biggest in the solar system, and by far the biggest for the terrestrial planets. So maybe the other planets should be jealous of us.
But it would be cool to see multiple moons.
It would be nice. For example Uranus has five moons. Maybe while one of the Moons is a full moon, we might see half moons and quarter moons at the same time. However imagine the activity of our oceans with several moons.
Eric Handley Uranus has 27 moons.
2 moons although beautiful would probably cause a lot of damage they might crash into each other causing moon debris to fall to earth probably killing all of us also since there are two moons. night would be brighter causing animals to evolve and they wouldn't look like the animals that we see today
James Miler Why are moons bad places?
How come people don't call The Moon by it's name, Luna? Isn't calling a Moon 'The Moon' like calling a child 'The child'?
Like is it just me that finds it weird that we do that...
It is not just any moon, it is THE moon
Wow. Im watching the full moon of april 8, 2020 from my window and when i opened youtube is this.
ABC XYZ whoopity doo
It’s interesting to think we take the moon’s presence in our sky for granted without realizing what it really is. A dense, rocky body the color of pavement and asphalt that glows in the sun’s bright light. A survivor of a huge collision with primordial Earth that now keeps our tides and axial tilt in check. LOVE the moon!

For me, The most interesting fact was that the moon rotates at the same rate as it revolves around the earth. Of course, I knew the same side of the moon always faces the earth but I had never considered why. Now I know why I wonder what the probability of that happening was. I mean, isn't that statistically very very improbable?
Why?
Yes, you're completely right, its just too good of a coincidence, there must be some underlying mechanism that causes the moon to be tidally locked to the earth, its not just luck

I am what they call a selenophile or philoselene, I absolutely adore the Moon. She is the reason I'm here after all. Without her, life would not exist. At all. No where else in our universe, and probably a few nearby universes, is there a planet so lucky to have the very specific Moon we have. And because of this- LIFE!

The Moon is like Earth’s sister or brother, or best friends, just as every other moon is to their planet.
I always wondered this is there a floor in space or those it just keep falling ??
Nah they just keep falling. There's no floor.
They don’t fall they float, and because of universal expansion, if you were floating in space you would never hit anything, you would just float there and probably never hit anything because of how big space is

the moon dose not bug me, its just another neighbor.
The Moon is, after Jupiter's satellite Io, the second-densest satellite in the Solar System among those whose densities are known.
It rotates at the same speed as it revolves amazed me so the moon faces to earth only on the same side.
Earth rotates one every 23 hours 56 min; Moon rotates once every 708 hours.
me vs watching people talk about the moon when I'm so stressed out i can't breathe
Considering the axial tilt of the moon closely matching with Jupiter's axial tilt, our Moon was dislodged from Jupiter along with Mercury and was orbiting the Sun directly until Earth captured the Moon. If Moon had formed with the Earth, its axial tilt would closely match with Earth's axial tilt like Saturn and Titan, it doesn't therefore Moon is captured by Earth sometime in the distant past.
how does that explain how the moon and earth are made of similar materials?
@@efslab Earth and moon being made of similar materials could be just coincidence. It wouldn't surprise me if moon and mercury are made of similar materials.
@@Xeno_Bardock it's mostly likely that when Theia (the name for the planet that smashed into Earth) contacted Earth, it caused the axis of Earth to tilt, while the dust and debris from the smash rotated around Earth and became the moon, which would have a normal axis. And besides, there's no way that the Earth and Moon made up of similar materials is just a coincidence. It's a very specific number of elements that happen to be both present in the Moon and in Earth.
@@efslab Theia is nothing more than hypothetical planet that no one can ever confirm actually existed though. Besides if Mars sized planet like Theia ever crashed into earth, only asteroid belt will be left behind. Earths axial tilt comes from originally orbiting Saturn before its capture by the Sun. Physicist Wal Thornhill talks about it in his Saturn/Earth Connection video. Our solar system is a result of collision between two different solar systems long time ago.
@@Xeno_Bardock i don't know about that, but i will look into it :)

Alexis because its a lie, we never went in the first place. Watch these documentaries: 1) A funny thing happened on the way to the moon. 2) Astronauts gone wild. Then Research ‘Eric Dubay’ on yt.
YaBoiGreen, go drink some Coolade or something. Yes, we went to the moon. I have personally shot lasers at the reflectors we left there. We didn't go back to the moon, mainly because NASA's PR department made the most exciting scientific endeavor humans ever embarked upon sound as exciting as watching paint dry. The left wanted to blow more money on welfare for unwed mother's and deadbeats, the right didn't see how any of this was going to make them money, all the while cashing in on microwave technologies, computer sciences, and about 500 Billions of dollars of other tech nobody thinks about when they think "Space-program." Those who don't believe we went are those who believe "if I can't do a thing, nobody can."
