This video raise more question than answer :
- what was the state of earth and moon ? They were giant ball of lava ?
- there was no sea ?
- and consedering that the space was very cold, why the sun stay hot ?
Thank for your help :)
The sun stays hot because she puts a lot of work into her appearance
I like how this looks earth is taking a big slurp. 
Here with more lead up.

That impact is insane. It's like they are balls of liquid.
Imagine if there had been life, or if that happened now. Everything and anything just gone. In an instant. Not even fossil records or anything left over.
Planets are balls of liquid really, they might have a thin shell that's solid but they behave as a liquid under pretty much any interaction. For gentle interactions they stay as near perfect spheres as a liquid under self gravity does. For more violent interactions they behave like the simulation shown.
Probably a lot longer until all the remaining bits in orbit settled into place tho.
