Theia or Orpheus is a hypothesized ancient planet in the early Solar System that, according to the giant impact hypothesis, collided with the early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago, with the resulting debris gathering to form the Moon. In addition to explaining Earth's large moon, the Theia hypothesis can also explain why Earth's core is larger than would be expected for a body its size; Theia's core and mantle mixed with Earth's. 

According to one version of the hypothesis, Theia was an Earth trojan about the size of Mars, with a diameter of about 6,102 km (3,792 miles). Additional evidence published in 2019 suggests that Theia might have formed in the outer Solar System rather than the inner Solar System and that much of Earth's water originated on Theia.
