Earth, Moon and Martian Moons Were Once a Single Planet Collided by a Water Planet (New Theory)
Earth, Mars , Moon and Martian Moons Were Once a Single Planet Collided by a Water Planet (New Theory) Discovered By: Habiballa Abaker Mohamed Ahmed [email protected] +201108505785 Republic of Darfur – Sudan Abstract We propose that Earth, Moon, Mars, Phobos and Deimos originated as a single mother sphere of 1.12 Earth masses (6700 km radius) at ∼0.79 AU with 18±4°C, evidenced by near-identical ecliptic inclinations (Earth 23.44°, Mars 25.19°, Phobos 26.04°) and common source material. The mother sphere was iron-rich and dry with core mass fraction of ∼28% and mantle FeO ∼8-18%. A water-rich ocean planet from the outer solar system, carrying H2O, N2 and carbonaceous organics, collided with the mother sphere. This collision delivered volatiles and triggered rotational fission due to rapid spin-up. Post-fission mass distribution: Earth retained 89% of mother mass with large iron core (28%), magnetic field, and volatiles (78% N2 atmosphere, water), and re-accreted ejecta as the Moon. Mars, comprising 11% of mass, was ejected to 1.52 AU, retained small core (18% mass), iron-rich mantle (18% FeO), lost volatiles due to low gravity (0.38g), cooled to -63°C, with Phobos/Deimos as porous, carbonaceous, water-ice-bearing debris. This model explains identical tilts, Mars' ancient 18°C climate, core size disparity, and volatile distribution in one sequence: single sphere → water planet impact → fission → Earth as life-giver, Mars as dead red factory. Keywords: Earth-Mars common origin, axial tilt, ALH84001, core mass fraction, water planet collision, rotational fission. This collision explains: Why Earth has 78% nitrogen and abundant water while Mars does not: Earth, with larger gravity (89% of mother mass), retained the volatile atmosphere from the water planet, while Mars (11% mass) could not retain it due to low gravity (0.38g) and rapid cooling. Why Phobos and Deimos contain water ice cavities and carbonaceous material: they are mixed debris from both the mother sphere and the water planet. The formation of the Moon: impact ejecta from this collision re-accreted as the Moon, similar to classic impact theory, but here the impactor was the water planet itself. Fission Sequence: Mother sphere (6700 km radius) existed at 0.79 AU with 18°C Water planet collided and delivered volatiles Rotational fission occurred due to fast spin from impact Earth retained core + volatiles + Moon Mars was ejected to 1.52 AU with iron-rich mantle + Phobos/Deimos as factory debris The Water Planet Collision (Source of Water and Nitrogen : The mother sphere (1.12 Earth masses) was dry and iron-rich. A water-rich planet (Ocean planet) from the outer solar system, containing water, nitrogen, and carbonaceous organics, collided with the mother sphere.
