Ok , you read this theories about how moon was initially formed and you think sounds plausible .
But then if you think about the math behind full solar eclipse you have to question yourself what are the chances of having it .

What would the chances have to do with the fact of having it? We have eclipses. Nothing about the odds of that configuration has any bearing on that.

Could you unpack this a little bit.

well :)
The sun and moon appear the same size in Earth's sky because the sun's diameter is about 400 times greater – but the sun is also about 400 times farther away.
So what are the chances of having a satellite that is 400 times smaller than the sun and also being positioned at exactly 1/400 of the distance to the sun , to be able to give us this beautiful ring during solar eclipse?
and yeah guys.. keep down-voting...
