These are craters, caused by impacts. Because the moon does not have sufficient gravity to sustain an atmosphere, there is no protective barrier between the moon's surface and random objects in space.
Craters will typically have a raised rim, a sloped crater wall leading into the depression and a crater floor that is the base of the depression. The surrounding area of a crater will have material "splashed" onto it from the impact. Larger craters will also have a central peak caused by the kinetic energy of an impacting object melting a portion of the lunar or impacting material.

∙ 15y agoThe 'holes' are called craters - they are the sites of impact of meteors and meteorites and the 'walls' of the holes consist of dust thrown up and out by the impact.

How is the Moon's surface different from earth?
It is more rocker.the moon as holes

Is cheese from the moon?
Yes, cheese comes from the moon. haha just kidding cheese comes from milk which is from cows. the only reason why they call the moon "cheese" is because it has craters on its surface n it has holes on the surface so it makes it look like cheese
True or false carters are holes or circles on the surface of the moon?
The circles visible on the surface of the moon are indeed craters made by the impact of bodies from space.

Is moon surface smooth?
Nope, the crater holes give it the look of Swiss cheese
