Scientists think the moon formed after a large

object, about the size of a planet, hit Earth.

VOCABULARY25.1 Origin and Properties of the Moon

2525 Earth’s Moon

1. Earth is hit off-center by a planet-sized object.

2. The impact heats and deforms both bodies. Some rocky debris remains in orbit around Earth.

3. The debris ring, made of rock from the outer layer of both objects, gradually coalesces, forming the moon.

lighter lunar highlands. Lunar highland rocks are

older than mare rocks.

CHAPTER HOME

Lunar rocks have textures similar to Earth rocks but

differ in composition.

CHAPTER

SECTION OUTLINESECTION OUTLINE

VOCABULARY

Most lunar craters were caused by the impact of

meteoroids; rays of shattered rock and dust were

splashed out by the impacts.

25.1 Origin and Properties of the Moon

2525 Earth’s Moon

Regolith is the loose rock material covering the

moon’s surface. It is formed as micrometeoroids

smash into and erode the moon’s surface.

CHAPTER HOME

The moon’s orbit is tilted 5 degrees relative to the

plane of Earth’s orbit. The moon’s movement

around Earth causes it to rise later each day and to

go through phases.
