Because they create shadows
No. Most of the impact craters that have formed on Earth have been destroyed and buried by geologic processes, processes that the moon lacks. While some recent impact craters on Earth remain visible on the surface, they are too small to be seen from the moon.
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
Because of the shadows cast by the craters.
The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.
Craters.
Anyone can see craters on the moon. All you have to do is look at it when it's in the sky. There are billions of craters on the lunar surface with more being added almost daily. There will always be craters on the moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them. The lunar craters only form of erosion is from solar bombardment and being hit by another object.
We can see the craters of the moon clearly from Earth because the moon has no atmosphere to erode them, so they remain preserved. When the sun shines on the moon's surface at an angle, it creates long shadows that make the craters stand out more prominently, enhancing their visibility from Earth.
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.
Most of the craters on Earth's moon are believed to have been caused by impacts from meteoroids, asteroids, and comets over millions of years. These impactors have struck the moon's surface and created the circular depressions we see as craters.
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
it is 100% full and it shows alot of its craters so you can use a telescope and see its craters.
