What else can I help you with?
Why isn't the earth more cratered than the moon?
Because of plate tectonics.. Also because of the plants, foliage, and water that covers the Earth's surface.
What are the moon's heavily cratered regions called?
The heavily cratered regions on the moon are called the highlands or the lunar highlands. These areas are older and have more craters compared to the smoother maria regions.
Why is the moon and mercury so much more cratered than the earth?
The Moon and Mercury have more craters because they lack significant geological processes like tectonic activity and erosion that constantly reshape the Earth's surface, resulting in the preservation of impact craters. The absence of atmospheres on the Moon and Mercury also means there is no protection from incoming asteroids and meteoroids, leading to more impact events and crater formation.
What is the major difference between highlands on the moon and the mountains on earth?
Gravity on the moon is one sixth of gravity on the earth, so mountains on the moon can be much taller. Mountains on earth are eroded by wind and water, but on the moon mountains are not eroded.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
What does the darkside of the moon look like?
The dark side of the moon appears the same as the near side from Earth. It is not actually completely dark; it receives sunlight but is not visible to us due to synchronous rotation. Missions like the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have provided detailed images of the entire moon's surface.
Do you weight more on the moon then you do on earth?
No; you weigh more on the Earth than you do on the moon.
Compared to the side away from Earth the side of the moon facing Earth has?
A smoother, darker surface due to the presence of lunar maria, vast regions remade with newer lava flows. The far side ha far more lunar highlands regions, older cratered terrain that appears lighter in color.
What is The moon has more gravity than the earth.?
"The moon has more gravity than the earth." is a question (about the moon and gravity).
Why is the moon full of craters but the earth is not?
The Moon's surface is heavily cratered because of of meteor impacts. Meteors are able to more commonly strike the Moon's surface than the Earth's surface because the Moon's atmosphere is not as strong as the Earth's, so less meteors burn up in the Moon's atmosphere than they do in the Earth's atmospheres. So the craters are simply the result of heavy meteor impacts. Answer #2 The moon has no weather to erode craters. Speculation is that the earth has been hit at least as many times as the moon because of our greater mass. Wind, water, and plate tectonics wipe out the evidence on earth.
Which has more gravity earth or moon?
The Earth has about six times more gravity than the Moon.
What weights more earth or moon?
The mass of the Earth is six times more than the moon.
