Does mercury have more craters than the moon?
Which moon? Different planets have different moons. If you are talking about our moon Murcury has more and deeper craters.
Which side of the moon has more craters?
The "darkside" or the part of the Moon that does not face the Earth has the most craters.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
yes. there are more craters on the moon because no atmosphere protects it from meteors or meteorites, but both the moon and the earth have craters
Does the moon has more craters than the earth?
Yes it does. The Moon has no air to stop meteors.
How do mountains or craters on the surfaces of the earth and the moon compare with each other?
The biggest difference is the craters on the moon erode at a much slower rate. Here on earth, it takes a few thousand years for a crater to fill in and become not much more than a valley. On the moon, the craters last until ejecta from newer craters fills the holes of the older craters. The mountains of the earth are covered with snow and below the timberline lie trees. There is no snow or trees on the moon. The mountains on the moon look a lot sharper and the rocks stand out because they're not covered in dust. The lunar mountains look much rounder and the entire surface of the moon is covered in a very thin layer of dust.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.

Yes it does. The Moon has no air to stop meteors.
Why do craters on the moon go undisturbed?
The moon has no geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water, so there is nothing to disturb the craters except for more asteroid and comet impacts.
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.

How do you use crater counts to determine the age of surfaces?
The more craters, the older the surface. If a surface is young, there will be fewer craters.
What is unusual about the moon Io?
the moon is smaller and has lots more craters than earth does and night lasts longer on the moon
Why does the moon have impact craters that are more visible than earth's?
The Moon is a more bleach environment and the Earth has Plant Life, Water, buildings, and that kind of thing. So craters on the Moon are seen better because it is more distinctive, the Moon is basically rock, dust, and more rock.
