2 the giant impact theory is one explanation for how the moon formed. put the events in order according to this theory. the rock vapor left behind began to cool magma droplets formed, clumping together one layer of earth was shaved off the rock vapor shrank away, leaving only the moon

Explanation:

The giant impact theory starts with a large celestial body colliding with early Earth, which shaves off a layer of the planet. The debris from this impact becomes rock vapor, which then cools. As it cools, magma droplets form and clump together, and finally the remaining rock vapor dissipates, leaving the Moon.

Answer:

1. One layer of Earth was shaved off
2. The rock vapor left behind began to cool
3. Magma droplets formed, clumping together
4. The rock vapor shrank away, leaving only the Moon
