Meteoroids, like the planets, were formed from the solar systems accretion disc. The rotational energy kept the entire system mass from falling into the Sun. the rest of the material continued to orbit and coalesce. The accretion disc was formed from interstellar dust and gas from previous stars that had burned through their fuel and exploded.
Meteoroids, Meteors & Meteorites.
They are shooting stars
Craters on the moon were formed primarily through two processes: impact from meteoroids and volcanic activity. Impact craters were created when meteoroids collided with the moon's surface, causing large depressions. Volcanic craters, on the other hand, formed when volcanic activity released magma and gases, creating bowl-shaped depressions.
The depressions on the Moon's surface are called craters. They are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the Moon's surface.
Meteoroids are big lumps of rock in space.
Meteoroids burn up in the Mesosphere. Even though the Mesosphere is the coldest layer, the meteoroids burn up from getting too cold. Meteoroids are also more commonly known as "shooting stars".

Large depressions on the moon are called craters. These are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the moon's surface.
The craters on moons are simply called craters. They are formed by impact events from asteroids, comets, or meteoroids striking the surface of the moon.
It got hit by lots of meteors - the trick is that there is little erosion on the moon so all those craters are still there.
Meteoroids are small, solid, extraterrestrial bodies that hits the earth's atmosphere.
Meteoroids primarily originate from two sources: asteroids and comets. Most meteoroids are fragments of asteroids, particularly from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. Comets, when they approach the Sun, shed debris that can also become meteoroids. Additionally, some meteoroids can originate from the Moon or Mars, where impacts have ejected material into space.
