Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Does mercury have more craters than the moon?
Which moon? Different planets have different moons. If you are talking about our moon Murcury has more and deeper craters.
Which side of the moon has more craters?
The "darkside" or the part of the Moon that does not face the Earth has the most craters.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
yes. there are more craters on the moon because no atmosphere protects it from meteors or meteorites, but both the moon and the earth have craters
Why are there more visible impact craters on the moon than on earth?
The moon has no atmosphere and hence no weather. Weather causes erosion. Living things are another cause of erosion that happens on Earth and not on the moon. The Earth is also more tectonically active. Continental drift happens on Earth, but doesn't happen on the moon. And earthquakes and volcanoes resulting from plate tectonics also can obliterate impact craters. And even the fact that the moon has a lower gravity than the Earth helps to preserve its craters; the walls of the craters weigh less and are therefore less likely to collapse.The earth has an atmosphere and the moon does not. Very little changes on the moon but on earth the weather changes the landscape and overgrowth covers up otherwise more obvious patterns.

What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?
"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).
Does the moon has more craters than the earth?
Yes it does. The Moon has no air to stop meteors.
Why do craters on the moon go undisturbed?
The moon has no geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water, so there is nothing to disturb the craters except for more asteroid and comet impacts.
Which pulls with greater force on the earth's oceans the sun or the moon?
The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon. However, the Moon has a greater effect on the tides.The gravity from the Sun is more than the gravity from the Moon.

Why can THEY still see craters on the moon?
Anyone can see craters on the moon. All you have to do is look at it when it's in the sky. There are billions of craters on the lunar surface with more being added almost daily. There will always be craters on the moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them. The lunar craters only form of erosion is from solar bombardment and being hit by another object.
Which has more gravity earth or moon?
The Earth has about six times more gravity than the Moon.
