Can someone help me understand the theory behind this scenario???

The current best hypothesis for the origin of the Moon is the giant impact model. In this model, an object the size of Mars collided with the Earth when it was still in a molten state early in the history of the solar system. A large amount of material was scraped off the surface of the young Earth and flung into orbit around it. The cloud of orbiting debris then gradually accumulated to form the Moon.

The system would be the pre collision earth and the body that collides into it, the surroundings would be the rest of the solar system?

I would assume energy increased? Please explain.
