The 29 pages that link to Giant-impact hypothesis, each with the reason it gives.

• Earth’s rotationRelated: The impact likely altered the young Earth’s rotation and established the Earth–Moon system.

• Earth's mantleRelated: The impact may have altered the early mantle and contributed to its volatile history.

• Earth's axial tiltRelated: The impact likely helped set the Earth–Moon system's initial spin orientation.

• MoonRelated: It is the leading explanation for the Moon’s origin and unusual Earth-like composition.

• Earth's coreRelated: The impact and ensuing planetary evolution shaped conditions during Earth's early differentiation.

• HadeanRelated: The Moon-forming collision was a defining event in early Earth history.

• MercuryRelated: A major impact is one proposed explanation for Mercury’s unusually large metallic core.

• Lunar explorationRelated: Lunar samples and measurements became central evidence for models of lunar origin.

• Lunar magma oceanRelated: The energetic conditions of lunar formation could have melted much or all of the young Moon.

• Natural satelliteRelated: It is the leading explanation for Earth's unusually large moon relative to its planet.

• Early EarthRelated: A major impact may have reshaped Earth and supplied the debris that became the Moon.

• Terrestrial planetRelated: The proposed impact illustrates how collisions shaped terrestrial planets and their satellites.

• Earth's MoonRelated: It explains the Moon's formation while accounting for key similarities between lunar and terrestrial material.

• CharonRelated: A giant impact is a leading explanation for the origin of the Pluto–Charon pair.

• History of EarthRelated: The collision reshaped Earth’s early interior and created its closest natural satellite.

• Moon (astronomy)Related: It is the leading explanation for the origin of Earth’s unusually large moon relative to its planet.

• Moons of HaumeaRelated: A collision is a leading explanation for Haumea’s rapid spin and associated family of icy bodies.

• Moons of PlutoRelated: A collision between Pluto and another body is the leading explanation for the system’s origin.

• Near side of the MoonRelated: The Moon's origin sets the initial conditions for its crust and later hemispheric differences.

• Formation and evolution of the Solar SystemRelated: The impact’s details and the Moon-forming material’s origin remain active research questions.

• Geology of the MoonRelated: Lunar chemistry and isotope similarities constrain the collision’s conditions and resulting debris.

• Internal structure of the MoonRelated: It frames the Moon’s initial composition and thermal state.

• Iron planetRelated: A mantle-stripping collision could leave a remnant with a disproportionately large iron core.

• Minor-planet moonRelated: Impact-generated debris is one proposed route to forming moons around minor planets.

• Moons of MarsRelated: Impact debris could account for the moons’ nearly circular, equatorial orbits.
