yes. there are more craters on the moon because no atmosphere protects it from meteors or meteorites, but both the moon and the earth have craters
Both the Earth and the Moon have craters, which are depressions on the surface formed by impacts from asteroids or meteoroids. These craters can vary in size and shape, and can provide valuable information about the history of impacts on both celestial bodies.
Yes, the surface of the moon has both mountains and craters. The moon's surface is heavily cratered due to impacts from asteroids and comets. Mountains on the moon are primarily formed by volcanic activity in the past.
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
Yes, the moon does not have holes like Earth does. However, it does have craters, which are formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids. These craters can appear as "holes" on the moon's surface when viewed from a distance.
Unlike Earth, the moon has no geologic activity, not atmosphere, and no water to erode, bury, or otherwise destroy craters. Except for newer impact craters, the moon's surface has changed relatively little since soon after its formation while none of Earth's original surface is still intact.

comets hitting the Moon's surface. Just like Earth :)
there are more craters on the moon then on earth

because the moon does not have a equater like the earth to protact it self ;)

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.
Well first the moon has craters on it and well it's ruff and the Earth I'm not sure but that's one that I list you.

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 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.
