Lunar craters were primarily formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, and comets colliding with the Moon's surface at high speeds. These impacts generate explosive forces, creating depressions and ejecting material outward, resulting in various crater shapes and sizes. Unlike Earth, the Moon lacks a significant atmosphere, which means these craters remain largely unchanged over time due to minimal weathering and erosion. Additionally, volcanic activity in the Moon's history contributed to some crater formations, although impact cratering is the dominant process.
