Craters don't hit moons. Craters are the results of meteorites hitting moons.
You're probably talking about craters. Craters are made when an Asteroid hits the moon.
The asteroids are destroyed on impact and their material becomes part of the Moon.
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
Craters are depressions in a planet's or moon's surface caused when a meteor hits the surface. On the moon craters remain undisturbed because there are no environmental forces like wind and rain to disturb resulting shape of the crater.
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
Craters on the moon are most visible when the sunlight hits them at a low angle, such as during the waxing or waning phases of the moon. This creates long shadows that make the crater edges more prominent.
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
On the Moon.
Because the moon has no weather, wind, rain, etc, to wear the craters down. Things existing in a frozen vacuum where nothing ever happens tend to stay the same way for millions of years without changing - like the craters on the moon.
The craters on the moon are impact craters. The moon's gravity isn't strong enough to hold atmosphere and so there is nothing to slow down or burn up the debris that falls from the sky. It hits hard and fast. The Earth has craters,too, but not as many because some of the smaller meteorites burn up.
The moon gets craters from meteor's that hit it's surface
