What else can I help you with?
What object that is covered with craters orbits the earth?
The moon and Luna are the object that is covered with craters orbits the earth
Why do craters stay on the moon?
there is no wind on the moon
Does Saturn have craters if so how do they form?
Saturn does not have craters. Craters are formed when one solid object crashes into another, much larger, solid object and gouges out a hole, which is called a crater. Saturn is essentially a huge ball of gas, so it cannot have craters. Craters are also formed when volcanoes explode. Because Saturn is essentially a big ball of gas it is not known to have volcanoes.
An object that causes craters to form when it collides with the earths surface is called what?
A metior
What can scientists discover by counting the number of craters on a surface?
Scientists can discover the relative age of two objects by counting the number of craters on their surfaces. The longer an object has been in space, the more craters it should have. Comparing the number of craters on two objects in space will determine which is older.
What is the name for a depression in the moon caused by an object striking its surface?
They are referred to as impact craters.
Why would a space probe turn off its engines once its headed in the direction of its destination?
The answer is inertia -- An object in motion will stay in motion, an object at rest will stay at rest.
What can you infer from studying the dpths and diameters of craters on the moon?
By studying the depth and diameters of the moon's craters, an impact specialist could determine the size of the object that hit the moon, give a good estimate of the velocity of the object, and approximate where it originated from in the sky.
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.
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.
What are the holes called that cover the moon?
The holes on the moon's surface are called craters. They are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the moon's surface. The size and depth of the craters can vary depending on the size and velocity of the impacting object.
What colors would mercury craters would be?
black
