What is the largest impact crater on mars?
Hellas
Are mars' moons craters?
No. A crater is a circular depression in the ground made by an impact or explosion. The moons of Mars are captured asteroids.
What is the largest type of crater?
Multi-ring basin craters are the largest type of crater found in the solar system. They are caused by the asteroid hitting a hard, rigid surface and causing ripples in the layer under the surface.
Why is the moons crater circular?
because the objects hitting it would hit then the impact would create a circular shape
What is the name of the Moon's largest impact crater?
The South Pole-Aitken basin (not "Aitken crater") on the far side of the moon, at 1,600 miles across, is not only the largest known impact crater on the moon but one of the largest in the solar system. It is also believed to be the moon's oldest and deepest (over 8 miles deep).
How does crater density relate to the moons geologic history?
The greater the crater density, the older the surface must be old.
What is the largest crater in North America?
The largest known crater in North America is located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It has a diameter of 250 km, the second-largest known crater on Earth, and was formed by a meteorite impact 1.849 billion years ago.
What do you call the moons crater's?
Seas.
Which of Saturn's moons got hit?
All moons are susceptible to impacts from asteroids or meteoroids, they've most likely all been hit several times. Mimas is the one with a huge crater, from an impact that almost ripped it apart. Mimas now looks like the Star Wars 'death star'.
What planet has a moon that has a crater measuring 450?
Mimas and Tethys, both moons of Saturn, have spectacularly large craters which dominate certain views, and rival the Death Star (and maybe inspired it!). Some astronomers have questioned how an impact crater such a large fraction of the moons' diameters did not completely break them apart. Odysseus crater on Tethys is 450km in diameter; Herschel crater on Mimas is about 139km across.

How was bailly crater formed?
The Bailly crater on the Moon was most likely formed by the impact of a large asteroid or comet colliding with the lunar surface. The impact would have created a crater with a central peak and terraced walls, features commonly seen in larger impact craters. Bailly crater is one of the largest craters on the Moon and is estimated to have formed billions of years ago.
