1. They're pretty big.

2. The moon has no atmosphere to cloud things up, so if the Earth's air around you is fairly clear, there's nothing else in the way to muck things up.

Because the earth is not very far from the moon


Why can we see craters on the moon so clearly from Earth?

In astronomical terms the moon is very close to Earth, much closer than anything else. Other astronomical bodies have similar cratering but are too far away for us to see them. Second, the moon is geologically dead. There are no processes on the moon's surface to destroy or bury the craters on the moon as has happened to Earth's craters.


Why do you see impact craters on mercury and the moon but not so much on earth?

Because there are not as many impact craters that you can see very well on Earth like there are on the Moon and Mercury.


What is a description of the full moon?

it is 100% full and it shows alot of its craters so you can use a telescope and see its craters.

Who used a telescope to discover craters on the moon?

Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.


Does the moon has craters?

The moon has plenty of craters, many of which can be seen from Earth, with a good telescope or binoculars. The craters are there, because the moon has no atmosphere for the objects to burn up in, so all of them hit the moon.


Is the surface of the moon smooth and flat?

The moon is ridgy and bumpy. It has craters, mountains, and valleys, much like Earth. That is why you can see the man on the moon. So no the moon is not smooth.


How were craters on the moon formed?

Craters on the moon were formed when meteorites crashed into the moons surface at unimaginable speeds. so true :P


These things are known to have battered the moon?

Space rocks. On Earth we would call them "meteors", because they would generally burn up while passing through the atmosphere. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there's nothing to prevent small space rocks from crashing into it. This has left the Moon covered with millions of craters; big craters, little craters, craters IN craters, and craters ON craters.
