yes there are many craters in the moons surface. asteroids in space or from the asteroid belt come off and hit the moons but mostly other planets. this happened more frequently back in the dinosaurs time... which is one of the claimed reasons why the dinosaurs became extinct.
Craters on the moon were mostly formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids colliding with the moon's surface. When these objects traveling at high speeds hit the moon, they create craters by excavating material from the lunar surface. Some craters may also have been caused by volcanic activity early in the moon's history.
False. Craters are not eroded on Mercury, which has no atmosphere.
The circles visible on the surface of the moon are indeed craters made by the impact of bodies from space.
no. Earth and Mars are the only terrestrials with moons.
They are not. While it is true that there are none of the common "weathering" factors here on Earth (such as rain or wind or volcanic action), old craters are routinely hammered down with new meteoroid strikes, or with the dust-making erosion of the continual expansion and contraction cycles that happen every month.
The moon is Earth's natural satellite, orbiting around our planet. It has a significant influence on Earth's tides due to its gravitational force. The moon's surface is covered in impact craters and lava plains, and it has no atmosphere.
No, it's not true that Saturn has only a few moons. In fact, Saturn has over 80 confirmed moons, with Titan being the largest and one of the most intriguing due to its dense atmosphere and surface lakes of liquid methane. The number of Saturn's moons continues to grow as new ones are discovered through ongoing astronomical observations.
No, Saturn actually has the most confirmed moons in our solar system with over 80. These moons vary in size, shape, and composition, making the Saturnian system a dynamic and intriguing area of study for astronomers.
Jupiter does not have 4 moons. It has 64 moons confirmed.
no, Neptune has 11 moons
Actually, There are 15 moons because of the new moons Ferdinand and Margaret. If you don't know if there are 13 or 15 moons of Neptune search the word below: Astronomy Questions If there were 13 or lower will be a false answer. If there were 15 will be a true answer. Higher than 15 will be a false answer.
All impact craters are circular, no matter what the shape of the impactor or the angle of impact. Of the options provided in the Discussion page, only choice "B" is accurate. The energy released in the impact melted the impactor - and the surface - to the point of being fluid, or at least malleable. Option "D", that the craters were formed early in the Moon's history, is probably also true, but the circular shape of the craters isn't dependent on this.
