due to the striking of the meteors on moon
rayed craters
Impacts from objects in space.
Craters on planets and moons are often named after famous scientists, artists, and explorers. On Earth, some craters are named after geographic features or towns near where they are located.
Unlike Earth, the moon does not have air, water, glaciers, or plate tectonics to erase craters. The only forces that significantly alter the moon's surfaces are impacts that form new craters.
Craters on Earth are typically formed by impacts from meteorites or asteroids. On other planets, such as the Moon and Mars, craters can also form from volcanic activity or collapse of surface material. The size and shape of a crater can provide information about the impactor and the environment in which it occurred.
rayed craters
craters form when a metorite strikes earth then resulting in a dent in the earths crust
yes
No. Saturn is a gas planet with no solid surface. Craters cannot form there.
meteors hit them
Rayed craters
Since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, meteorites are able to hit the moon and this forms the craters.
