Craters happen when meteorites impact on the Moon's surface.
Most of the craters on the Moon are billions of years old, the impacts were much more common during the early stages of the solar system's formation.
There are craters on the Earth's surface as well. They are just harder to see, because the surface of the Earth changes faster because we have an atmosphere and erosion.
When things like asteroids, space junk, or large comets or meteors collide into the moon (or any other planet) they leave indentations in the surface. These are called craters.
The Craters of the Moon monument is in central Idaho.
the craters on the moon and mars are from asteroids bumping into it.
The vast majority of lunar craters are caused by meteor impacts.
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.
there is no wind on the moon
Craters were probably caused by meteors that hit the moon. Craters can also be made by non-active volcanoes
the craters on the moon were formed by meteors hitting the moon and the lunar lakes were formed by lava filling in the craters
You're probably talking about craters. Craters are made when an Asteroid hits the moon.
They're craters - made by meteors crashing on the moon
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
They were created by meteors hitting the moon and making craters.
the surface of the moon is rocky with lots of craters it is sadly not made of cheese.
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
