Like all major bodies on the solar system, the moon has been hit by many asteroids and comets. Most of the large impacts were when the solar system was young. Unlike some of the other worlds such as Earth, however, the moon has no geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water to bury or wear down those craters.

The craters were caused mainly by impacts by objects from space.
