What else can I help you with?
What is the main reason that impact craters on the Moon last much longer than impact craters on earth?
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.
Can you see craters on the moon from earth?
No. Most of the impact craters that have formed on Earth have been destroyed and buried by geologic processes, processes that the moon lacks. While some recent impact craters on Earth remain visible on the surface, they are too small to be seen from the moon.
Why do you see many impact craters on the moon but not earth?
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.
Why are craters preserved on the moon but not on earth?
Earth is geologically active and has wind and water to erode craters. The moon is geologically dead and has no atmosphere and thus no erosion. There is nothing on the moon to destroy impact craters.
Why does the moon have circles?
Those are impact craters from when it was hit by meteors. The moon has no weather, so they never got erased like most of the impact craters that were on Earth's surface.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Why does the moon have impact craters that are more visible than earth's?
The Moon is a more bleach environment and the Earth has Plant Life, Water, buildings, and that kind of thing. So craters on the Moon are seen better because it is more distinctive, the Moon is basically rock, dust, and more rock.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth have craters on their surfaces. The Moon's surface is covered with craters formed by impacts from space debris, while on Earth, craters are less common due to erosion and tectonic activity, but they can still be found in certain areas like meteorite impact sites or volcanic regions.
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
What makes craters on earth less noticeabale than craters on the moon?
Erosion. The earth constantly has wind, water, and life walking and eroding impact craters, where the moon has none of the above. In fact, if you are to walk on the moon right now, you will leave footprints that will be on the moon forever.
Why do you think there are millions of impact craters on the moon and so few on Earth?
The Earth has had far more asteroid and meteorite impacts than the moon. Impact craters on Earth however are eroded by the atmosphere and water and also filled in by water and sediment. Since the moon has next to no atmosphere craters tend not to erode so they will always be visable.
Who used a telescope to discover craters on the moon?
Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.
