Explanation:
According to the impact theory, a glancing collision between a Mars-sized object and Earth led to the formation of the Moon. The iron core of Earth had formed before this collision, leading to the similarity between the composition of the Moon and Earth's mantle. After the collision, any iron core of the Mars-sized object would have been left behind on Earth and eventually merged with Earth's core. The Moon then formed out of the debris thrown into space by the collision.
