Why is it easier for space objects to hit the moon and make a crater than it is for the same space object to hit the earth and make a crater?
It's not. In fact, the converse is true; the Earth is both a bigger target and has a stronger gravitational field.
However, the Earth has a significant atmosphere, and thus weathering, so craters on the Moon tend to last much, much longer than craters on the Earth. The fact that Earth is geologically active and has life also shorten the length of time that craters remain visible and recognizable.

How has exploration helped us learn about impacts of space objects on earth?
Exploration of other worlds has helps us learn about the impact of space objects. When an object strikes the surface of a larger object in space, it explodes and leaves behind a round pit called an impact crater.
Why is it easier to lift heavy objects on the moon than on earth?
It is easier to lift heavy objects on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon's gravitational pull is only about one-sixth that of Earth's. This reduced gravity means that objects weigh significantly less on the Moon, making them easier to lift and move. Consequently, the same force exerted to lift an object results in a greater acceleration on the Moon compared to Earth.
How do craters get to the earth?
When a meteor hits Earth, it forms a crater, or hole in the ground , made by a space object.

What is an object that orbits Earth
What is a hole formed when two objects in space collide?
If two objects in space collide the result depends on both relative sizes and speeds of the objects.if the objects are moving with little difference in speed, they will simply stick togetherif the objects are of similar size and moving at high speed, they with both shatter into smaller piecesif the objects are of much different size and moving at high speeds, the smaller one will punch a hole in the larger one called a craterwhen an object about the size of Mars collided with the early Earth shortly after the Earth first developed a solid crust, both objects completely remelted and a spray of mixed Earth's mantle and the object entered orbit about the Earth and when it solidified became the Moon, no crater was left on Earth as it melted completely then resolidified tooetc.
Where is a crater located?
A large depression in earth cause by impact of an asteroid or other object from space.
How many kilometers is an object from earth?
Different objects are at different distance from Earth.
When an extraterrestrial object hits the earth?
An extraterrestrial object hitting Earth can cause significant damage depending on its size and speed. It may result in a crater, shockwaves, fires, and tsunamis, potentially leading to widespread destruction and loss of life. Scientists closely monitor near-Earth objects to assess potential impact risks and develop strategies to mitigate them.
What direction does earth pull objects?
The force of mutual gravitational attraction between the earth and any other object pulls the object toward the center of the earth, and pulls the earth toward the center of the object. Both pulls have equal strength.
What is the objects approach the Earth very close it has 3 letter?
NEO's (Near Earth Object)
When a meteor hits the earth what does it form?
When a meteor hits the Earth it forms a crater.
Does earth pull all objects with same force?
No. The two-way force of gravity between the earth and any object is proportional tothe mass of the object.The thing that's constant for all objects, regardless of their mass, is their acceleration,as the earth and the object fall toward each other.
