What else can I help you with?
Why do you think there are millions of impact craters on the moon and so few on Earth?
The Earth has had far more asteroid and meteorite impacts than the moon. Impact craters on Earth however are eroded by the atmosphere and water and also filled in by water and sediment. Since the moon has next to no atmosphere craters tend not to erode so they will always be visable.
What planet is full of impact craters and and no atmosphere?
I think it is Mercury.
Why are the lunar mountains semi-circular instead of linear like the Earth's?
I think its because the lunar mountains are associated with the large circular impact craters found on the moon, whereas on earth we have plate tectonics that from our mountains on the linear plate boundaries.
How many craters do scientists think Neptune has?
Scientists know, not think, Neptune has zero craters.Neptune is a gas giant. Gas giants do not have a solid rocky surface. Therefore nothing can impact against the planet to form craters.
What are the holes in the moon called?
I think there are called craters. I thinks so dont take my word for it.
What are factors that affect the appearance of craters and ejecta?
Factors that affect the appearance of craters and ejecta include the size and speed of the impacting object, the angle of impact, the composition and structure of the target surface, and the presence of an atmosphere. These factors influence the size, shape, depth, and distribution of craters and ejecta patterns.
How do astronomers think craters were created on the moon and planets?
Astronomers believe craters on the moon and other planets were created by impacts from asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. When these objects collide with the surface, they excavate debris and create large indentations in the crust. The size and shape of the craters can provide valuable insights into the history of impacts in the solar system.
What planet contains craters making it look similar to earth's moon?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have impact craters. Earth's craters are subject to weathering, subduction and orogeny, erasing them from the surface after a time. Mercury is an airless world, geologically inactive, so it has preserved its craters from the beginning of the solar system. Mercury's appearance is most like that of our moon.
How are many craters on mars?
72 craters are on mars. And a few more, I think.
What created the moons dark areas?
The Moon's dark areas are Craters where light from the Sun or light reflected from the Earth never reaches due to proximity to mountains or due to sheer depth. Many who think the Moon was separated from the Earth believe that in that distant past the Earth had corresponding mountains in places where the Moon had craters, which means those craters in the dark areas of the Moon were created neither through volcanic activity nor by the impact of meteor falls.
Why do scientist think the places where the craters are is mysterious?
because
