What is moon craters?
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.
Why does the moon have a bunch of craters?
Impacts from space objects (i.e. asteroids, comets, and meteors).
What are the bumps on the moon called?
the bumps on the moon are called craters which has happened by comets and other objects.
These things are known to have battered the moon?
Space rocks. On Earth we would call them "meteors", because they would generally burn up while passing through the atmosphere. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there's nothing to prevent small space rocks from crashing into it. This has left the Moon covered with millions of craters; big craters, little craters, craters IN craters, and craters ON craters.
How did the Luna Mare form?
The Mare are flooded (by volcanic erupted basalt) impact craters. While the interior of the Moon was still hot an molten, asteroid or comets hit the moon and created impact craters. Lava from the Moon's interior then welled up to flood these craters, making the Mare (which means 'seas').
What type of craters do comets have?
cool ones
What could cause craters on the surface of the moon or planet?
The craters are caused by impacts from asteroids and comets.

What made the moons craters?
the moons craters were made by comets an meteors crashing into it :p :0 ;D
Why are four craters formed on the moon weekly?
Craters are formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface.
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.
Are holes in the planets made by asteroids?
If you mean craters then yes. Most craters are caused by impacts from asteroids or comets. Some craters, however, are volcanic.
Are mercury's craters volcanic?
No. The craters on Mercury are from the impacts of comets and asteroids, as are most craters on objects in space. We do not have any strong evidence of volcanic activity on Mercury.
What caused the hills lines and craters on the moon?
Asteroids and comets sometimes crashes in to the moon and causes craters, hills, and lines.
What starts with c in astronomy?
Cosmos, comets, clusters, craters, Ceres...
What features of the moon are caused by rocks or comets that crash into its surface?
Craters :)
How were crater formed?
Most craters are formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets. Some craters on volcanically active bodies are volcanic in origin.
