What are cracks in the moon called?
Craters :P
Why isn't the earth cratered like the moon?
Weathering, volcanic action and plate tectonic action means that the surface of the Earth is constantly changing and meteor impact craters are eroded away . The surface of the moon is dead and there are no processes to remove the craters from its surface.
Why is the earth's surface not riddled with craters as is the moon?
The Earth has some craters, they are just rarer. The majority of meteors coming towards us disintegrate in the Earth's atmosphere (something the moon doesn't have), and the craters that are created by ones that get through are then subjected to winds, oceans, animals, foliage, all sorts of things that will make them less cratery. The moon doesn't have any of that, so any small meteoroid will hit it, and the crater stay there for a long, long time.
Does the moon and the earth both have craters?
Yes both bodies have craters but the Moon has many many more. That is because it has no protective atmosphere so that any old piece of rock of any size that hits the Moon will produce a crater (sometimes only a small one, other times a big one). The Earth's atmosphere causes all but the biggest meteors to burn up before they hit the ground, which means they have to be really large to cause any kind of crater. But the Earth has a few big craters.
Which person went and discover the moon?
no one discovered the moon...you can see it from anywhere on earth (just about)
What did the scientist Galileo discover?

Why scientist not studying the moon?
What is there to study but craters...
Did Galileo discover creators?
Galileo discovered craters on the moon so therefor technically he discovered craters.
Who discovered the Moon had craters?
Galileo Galilei.
Who discovered craters on the surface of the moon?
Galileo Galilei
Who used a telescope to discover craters on the moon?
Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.
What were the first three things discovered on the moon?
The firat things spotted on the moon were craters , boulders and no wind.
Which scientists discovered the craters of Earth's moon?
The craters on Earth's moon were discovered by famous astronomers like Galileo Galilei and Giovanni Cassini in the 17th century. Their observations through telescopes revealed the presence of these impact features on the lunar surface.
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
How many craters are in the moon.?
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
Using a telescope he discovered spots on the sun and craters on the moon the Church tried him as a heretic for his views?
Galileo
Why do we name craters on the moon after sea's?
Craters on the moon are often named after seas (mare in Latin) because early astronomers mistakenly thought these large, dark areas on the moon's surface were bodies of water. In reality, these areas are actually vast plains of solidified lava from ancient volcanic activity.
