The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.

Why can we see the craters of the moon so clearly from earth?
Because the craters of the moon are very large and preety. \\\\\\\\ p;l
Why are there two craters on the far side of the moon?
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
Are there meteorites on the moon?
yes. The craters you see with the naked eye looking at the moon are from meteors striking the moon. meteorites are what is left of a meteor that has already struck a large body (such as a planet or moon)
Why do you see many impact craters on the moon but not earth?
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.
What is a description of the full moon?
it is 100% full and it shows alot of its craters so you can use a telescope and see its craters.
What created the large lunar craters you see on the moon?
Mostly Meteors

Does the moon heve craters cause off meteors crashes?
Technically, yes, some probes have crashed into the moon, and have undoubtedly left tiny craters. However, none of them would be large enough to see.
What are the geological features that you can see on the moon are called what?
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.
Why do you see impact craters on mercury and the moon but not so much on earth?
Because there are not as many impact craters that you can see very well on Earth like there are on the Moon and Mercury.
What causes the dark spots on the surface of the moon?
if you mean craters they got there from asteroids that hit the moons surface with a large impact
What made an impact on the moon?
Millions upon millions of meteors. Every crater that you see on the Moon is the result of a fairly large asteroid impact. And there are craters within craters within craters, down to a few feet across. Oh, and the big plains, the "maria"? That's where TRULY ENORMOUS asteroids hit, and turned half of the Moon molten from the heat.
Why is it easier to see craters on the moon?
Because they create shadows
Why do you see many impact craters on the moon but not earth?
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.
