The "high impact" period of our solar systems development seems to have been heavily concentrated in the first 500 million years. By the time the solar system was 500 million years old, (4 billion years ago), the "high impact" period was slowing down. There was a "last hurrah" from 4 billion year ago to 3.8 billion years ago, then it virtually stopped. Almost all the notable craters on the moon's surface were created by impact more than 3.8 billion years ago, according to current astronomical thought.
What else can I help you with?
Why do craters happen on the moon?
Meteors crash into the moon and leave the holes there
How rough is the Moon's surface?
I would say, very rough since meteors and other things have crash onto the moon's surface, so it would be very rough
Do meteors hit the moon?
Yes, meteors do hit the moon. The moon's surface is pockmarked with craters from impacts of meteors over billions of years. The lack of atmosphere on the moon makes it more susceptible to meteor impacts compared to Earth.
Why do more meteors hit the moon than the earth?
More meteors hit the moon than the earth because the moon has no atmosphere to burn up the meteors before impact. Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective barrier, causing most meteors to disintegrate before reaching the surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere means more meteors make it to the surface, leaving more visible impact craters.
Why the moon has holes?
They're craters - made by meteors crashing on the moon
Where was maria on the moon formed?
The maria's on the moon were formed by meteors slamming into it.
How often do meteors hit the moon?
Meteors hit the moon fairly frequently due to its lack of atmosphere to burn them up before impact. The Moon's surface is covered with impact craters, evidence of past meteor strikes. On average, it is estimated that the Moon is hit by meteors about 2800 times per year.
How did craters form from moon?
meteors hit them
Why doses the moon have holes in it?
This is because meteors hit the moon and cause craters.
Do meteors hit the far side of the moon?
Yes. They can hit anywhere on the moon.
What were the moon craters created by?
the moon craters were created by asteroids and meteors. shocking!
Is there weathering erosion or deposition on the Moon?
There is deposition - from the impact of meteors colliding with the moon.
