Answer:

co-formation theory

Step-by-step explanation:

According to co-formation, the moon and the earth were formed together at the same time from dust present in the solar nebula. Because of gravity, the material was bound together-one formed the earth and other smaller object was moon. According to this theory, the composition of moon and Earth should be same. This theory also explained the location of the moon with respect to the Earth.
