According to one theory, Earth's moon accreted to form its current structure following a giant impact between Earth and another celestial body
Complete the paragraph to describe the process of accretion
Following the impact, a section of Earth broke off. As a result, large pieces of debris started to revolve around Earth. The debris was held close
to Earth by Earth's
The debris frequently collided to form a planetesimal. As the planetesimal grew in size, its gravity
increased. This gravitational force pulled in even more
which led to the accretion of the moon.

According to the giant impact theory, a giant Mars-sized object collided with Earth. This collision likely resulted in the spinning of Earth which creates length of a day on Earth.

Explanation;

The giant impact theory suggests that the moon formed from the debris left over from a collision between the Earth and a giant Mars sized object, about 4.5 billion years ago.

Therefore, the collision between a proto-planetary Earth and a Mars-sized proto-planet called Theia, resulted to debris that later cooled and coalesced to form the moon.

Further according to the theory, more than 60 percent of the moon should be made of chemical material derived from Theia.
