What makes craters on mars?

On every rocky celestial body, a crater is used to define the damage left behind by a meteorite's impact with the ground of the celestial body.

How can one derive the escape velocity of an object from a celestial body?

To derive the escape velocity of an object from a celestial body, you can use the formula: escape velocity (2 gravitational constant mass of celestial body / distance from the center of the celestial body). This formula takes into account the gravitational pull of the celestial body and the distance of the object from its center. By calculating this value, you can determine the minimum velocity needed for an object to escape the gravitational pull of the celestial body.

If earth did not rotate could you define the celestial poles and celestial equator?

If Earth did not rotate, the celestial poles would align with the geographic poles, and the celestial equator would align with Earth's equator. The celestial poles are points in the sky that the Earth's axis points towards, and the celestial equator is an imaginary line in the sky directly above the Earth's equator. Without Earth's rotation, these references would be fixed in the sky.


What is a celestial body called?

If Earth did not rotate could you still define the celestial poles and celestial equator?

You can't - those things wouldn't exist. Both are defined in terms of Earth's rotation.
