Can you see craters on the moon from earth?
No. Most of the impact craters that have formed on Earth have been destroyed and buried by geologic processes, processes that the moon lacks. While some recent impact craters on Earth remain visible on the surface, they are too small to be seen from the moon.
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.
Why does the moon have big craters?
Mostly from asteroid impacts. The moon has no atmosphere to impede an asteroid's approach, or to disturb the land contours after it has landed, so the craters remain permanently visible.
How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
What Feature is visible on the moon?
Well the Moon has its different ways of showing its feelings and you know it really dose have feelings and really there's no other answer to your question. Lack of an atmosphere :) A+ Awesomeness399
Why do moon craters remain visible longer than earth craters?
There is no significant amount of erosion on the Moon.

What is visible on the moon?
There are several lunar features that are visible to the naked eye, and more are visible with even a very small telescope.The craters are probably the most obvious; circular impact craters caused by the collision of some very large asteroids or comets have created circular mountain ranges that are hundreds of miles in diameter. There are craters in craters, craters ON craters, and chains of craters. Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, there are no erosive forces to break down and hide the craters (as there is here on Earth) and so the only thing wearing away the old craters are ..... new craters!Lunar craters are usually named for astronomers and scientists.The other major features of the Moon are the maria, or seas. Originally believed to be oceans and seas of water by classical observers, we now believe that they were made by lava flows.
What might be responsible for most of the craters on earth's moon?
The vast majority of lunar craters are caused by meteor impacts.
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.
What planet is the moon most like?
Mercury is the planet that most resembles the Moon in visible surface features and atmosphere. It is a grey planet that has many craters and a thin atmosphere.
Why does the moon have big craters?
Mostly from asteroid impacts. The moon has no atmosphere to impede an asteroid's approach, or to disturb the land contours after it has landed, so the craters remain permanently visible.
What is vitello leather?
Vitello is one of the craters that are visible on planet earth's moon. It is circular and situated at the Southern hemisphere of the moon.
What planet has the most visible craters?
In the Solar System it is Mercury.
The youngest features visible with telescopes on the Moon are?
Some of the impact craters are young. Those inside or overlapping older craters are obviously younger, as are those with streamers of debris overlying older craters.
How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
