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.


Would a planet with active or less active volcanoes have more craters?

A planet with fewer active volcanoes would have more craters, as the ash and lava from volcanoes will cover existing craters.

How were the moons craters created?

The moons craters would have been made by pieces of rock - meteroids. These collided with the moon in the past to make the craters. Material ejected from the collision would then have fallen back to the surface of the moon to make further smaller craters further away.

Are there bottomless craters on the moon?

Yes there are craters, and yes some of them are very deep. All craters, however, do in fact have a bottom. A bottomless crater would actually be best described as a "hole," and there are no holes through the Moon.

What are craters and why would they stay on an object?

Craters are depressions in a planet's or moon's surface caused when a meteor hits the surface. On the moon craters remain undisturbed because there are no environmental forces like wind and rain to disturb resulting shape of the crater.


Where would you find the sea of tranquilty?

On the moon. That is the name of one of the moon's craters.


Do the craters on the Moon's surface affect the phases?

NO.Perhaps if we wanted to measure exactly when it's a "quarter phase",craters would make that more difficult than a smooth surface.
