Name the three kinds of features that Galileo saw on the Moon's surface?
Craters. Mountainous areas. Also, the dark areas called "maria" are very prominent, mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth. The whole surface is covered in broken rock and dust. That's why astronauts left footprints.
How were the craters on the moon made?
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.
What features of the moon are caused by rocks or comets that crash into its surface?
Craters :)
Why can THEY still see craters on the moon?
Anyone can see craters on the moon. All you have to do is look at it when it's in the sky. There are billions of craters on the lunar surface with more being added almost daily. There will always be craters on the moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them. The lunar craters only form of erosion is from solar bombardment and being hit by another object.
Is the Moon's crust thinner or thicker than earth?
The earths crust us thicker than the moons....due to the craters
What is the surface type of earths moon?
It is rocky with craters.
What are the large holes on the moon called?
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
What are the dents in the moon?
The "dents" on the surface of the moon are craters. The craters were created by asteroids and meteors that crashed into the moon's surface.
Features of earths moon?
Impact craters.
How do you think craters are formed on the moon?
The craters are formed because of rock and iron hitting the moons surface. When the rock and iron hit the earths surface damage is caused to trees, roads and that sort of thing.
How does the moon get craters?
The moon gets craters from meteor's that hit it's surface
Why are more craters present on the moons surface than on earths?
because the moon does not have a equater like the earth to protact it self ;)
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 do craters last for millions of years on the surface of the moon?
Craters last for millions of years on the surface of the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere. Saying this the moon does not have anything able to fill in the craters such as soil or rain.

Hollows on the moon's surface?
Craters
Was there any craters on the moon?
Yes, there are craters on the Moon. Any planet with a solid surface and not too much of an atmosphere will have craters.
