It is unlikely that the Moon formed elsewhere and was captured by Earth's gravity, since it may be impossible for the Earth to capture an object as large as the Moon. It is also of note that the Moon contains an unusually low quantity of volatiles, which are materials like water that are easily vaporized at high enough temperatures. Based on this, and given the moon's density, which of the following formation scenarios of the Moon most closely matches our observations? Choose one:A. The Moon accreted from the debris of the impact of a large object with the surface of the Earth. B. The Moon formed from the outer part of Earth's atmosphere. C. The Moon formed at the same time as, but separately from, the Earth from the same Solar Nebula material. D. The Moon was formed from the material of an enormous volcanic eruption on Earth.

Option A

Explanation:

The surface of the moon is secured with dead volcanoes, sway holes, and magma streams, some noticeable to the independent stargazer. Early researchers figured the dull stretches of the moon may be seas, thus named such highlights horse, which is Latin for "oceans" According to the big Splash theory, the Moon framed out of the trash left over from a crash among Earth and a galactic body the size of Mars, roughly 4.5 billion years prior, in the Hadean age; around 20 to 100 million years after the Solar system blended.
