The crater doesn't "hit" the moon; the crater is the result of the explosion. A meteorite might hit the moon. Since it hits with a huge energy, it may indeed be considered an explosion.
________________________
For the last few years, astronomers have been watching the Moon during meteor showers on Earth. (After all, the Moon is pretty close to the Earth, right?) They have observed hundreds of explosions - meteoric impacts - on the Moon. Since the Moon has no atmosphere, any meteorite will strike the surface of the Moon at full speed, and some of these meteors are moving upwards of 150,000 miles per hour.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the things that hit the moon to make the craters?
The craters on the moon were formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets.
How does the moon get craters?
The moon gets craters from meteor's that hit it's surface
What caused the moon to have many craters?
Meteorites. They hit the moon frequently, causing many craters.
How did the craters form on on the moon?
Since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, meteorites are able to hit the moon and this forms the craters.
Why does the have craters?
Flying debris in space, such as meteors, hit the moon and it forms craters.
How did craters form from moon?
meteors hit them
When objects hit the moon what are they called?
Objects that hit the moon are typically referred to as meteoroids or asteroids. When they reach the moon's surface, they create impact craters.
Does the moon has craters?
The moon has plenty of craters, many of which can be seen from Earth, with a good telescope or binoculars. The craters are there, because the moon has no atmosphere for the objects to burn up in, so all of them hit the moon.
What happens after a craters hits the moon?
Craters don't hit moons. Craters are the results of meteorites hitting moons.
Has an asteroid hit the moon?
Many asteroids have hit the moon. That's why it's covered in craters.
How are craters made?
Craters were probably caused by meteors that hit the moon. Craters can also be made by non-active volcanoes
Why doses the moon have holes in it?
This is because meteors hit the moon and cause craters.
