Can you see craters on the moon from earth?

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.


Why are there two craters on the far side of the moon?

There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see


Why is it easier to see craters near the terminator?

What created the large craters you we see on the moon?

The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.


What are the geological features that you can see on the moon are called what?

Why can THEY still see craters on the moon?

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.


Why can we see the craters of the moon so clearly from earth?

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.


Why do you see many impact craters on the moon but not earth?

The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.


What might be responsible for most of the craters on earth's moon?

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.


What cause the Moon's craters?

The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.


What the description of the full moon?

it is 100% full and it shows alot of its craters so you can use a telescope and see its craters.
