Lunar rays are apparently the same age as lunar craters?
craters... :)
Is there a map of lunar craters?
There are not only maps of the lunar craters, there are lunar globes that depict the Moon just as it is. Even better; there is Google Moon! www.google.com/moon
What shapes are the lunar craters?
Polyhedrons
Are most lunar craters that are formed by erosion caused by glaciers?
Most lunar craters are impact craters caused by incoming meteors and asteroids. Since our moon has no atmosphere there can be no glaciers or erosion.
What shapes are most lunar craters?
Most lunar craters are circular. It takes a very unusual shallow (or grazing) impact to make a crater that is not circular.
The Characteristic shape of lunar craters is evidence that?
All impact craters are circular, no matter what the shape of the impactor or the angle of impact. Of the options provided in the Discussion page, only choice "B" is accurate. The energy released in the impact melted the impactor - and the surface - to the point of being fluid, or at least malleable. Option "D", that the craters were formed early in the Moon's history, is probably also true, but the circular shape of the craters isn't dependent on this.
What is the result of lunar craters?
it is a result of an asteroid impact
What is the origin of the majority of lunar craters?
Meteorite impacts.
How long do lunar craters last?
They last forever.
Are lunar mares younger than the craters that sit in them?
noooooooooooooooooooo!
Why are four craters formed on the moon weekly?
Craters are formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface.
In 1998 what did the lunar prospector discover about the Moon's poles?
There is water inside of craters or ice inside of craters
