They last much longer than that. Some of the moon's craters are billions of years old. They last so long because there is nothing to erase them. Earth has wind, water glaciers, volcanoes, and tectonic plates to bury, erode, and erase craters. The moon has none of these processes. Some refer to the moon as geologically dead.

Why are some areas of the moon smooth with no craters?
... as compared to Earth, I suppose. On Earth, the weather will remove most traces of craters rather quickly, in a few million years for large craters, in a fraction of a million years for smaller craters.... as compared to Earth, I suppose.

What features were last to form on the moon?
rayed craters
Why craters on the moon last millions of years?
On the Moon there are no weathering processes like wind, water flow or tectonic activity.
Why do craters last for millions of years on the moon?
because the gravity keeps it there and there is not or is an answer for the time in space to know how long it stays there
How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
Why do craters last for millions of years on the surface of the moon?
Craters last for millions of years on the surface of the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere. Saying this the moon does not have anything able to fill in the craters such as soil or rain.

What is the main reason that impact craters on the Moon last much longer than impact craters on earth?
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.
How much moon does moon have?
the moon has lots of craters but one fact is that the actual moon has 77 million other moons.
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.
How many craters are in the moon.?
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
