What planet is covered with craters made by meteorites?
mercury
Covered with craters made by meteorites?
Planet Mercury and some of the moons in the solar system.
How are craters formed on moons or planets?
Craters are formed by impacts from objects from space, such as meteorites.
How were the craters on the moon made?
Craters happen when meteorites impact on the Moon's surface. Most of the craters on the Moon are billions of years old, the impacts were much more common during the early stages of the solar system's formation. There are craters on the Earth's surface as well. They are just harder to see, because the surface of the Earth changes faster because we have an atmosphere and erosion.
Will a planet with active volcanoes have more or fewer craters than a planet without active volcanoes?
A planet with active volcanoes will have fewer craters, as older craters will tend to be buried by lava and ash.

mercury

Planet Mercury and some of the moons in the solar system.
What are very large craters most likely the result of?
Most craters are caused by meteorites crashing to the planet. However, some volcanoes when formed, look like craters.
Why do huge craters exist on the surface of mercury?
This mostly happened due to many meteorites and comets bombarding the surface of the planet.
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)
What is formed by meteorites?
impact craters
When meteorites strike the moon they create?
Craters.
What are depressions caused by large meteorites?
Craters
Is the moon a gas planet?
no. moon is earth's natural satellite. it is a giant rock. pure solid. no gas nor liquid. no atmosphere. all it has is a very ragged surface because of craters made by meteorites.
What are the holes in the moon and how were they made?
The "holes" in the Moon are craters; it's likely that most of those are caused by meteorites.
What happens after a craters hits the moon?
Craters don't hit moons. Craters are the results of meteorites hitting moons.
Were the earth's craters caused by earthquakes?
Earth's craters have been created by Meteorites and Volcanoes.
