Planetary Collision

Planetary Collision refers to the event where two or more celestial bodies, such as planets, asteroids, or other significant astronomical objects, collide with one another. This phenomenon can result in the catastrophic disruption of the bodies involved, causing fragmentation, merging, or the creation of debris fields. Planetary collisions are rare but can have profound implications for the evolution of planetary systems, leading to changes in orbits, alterations in geological features, and the potential for new celestial formations. Notable historical examples of planetary collisions include the theorized impact that led to the formation of Earth’s moon and various asteroid impacts on Earth that have resulted in significant geological and biological consequences.
