What are the moons craters called?

The craters on moons are simply called craters. They are formed by impact events from asteroids, comets, or meteoroids striking the surface of the moon.


What are craters on the moon caused by?

For 300 years scientists thought that craters on the moon have been caused by volcanoes, but they are actually made by meteors crashing onto the moon's surface The moon is our satellite. As such it acts as a deflector for meteors and other space stuff that may come into our orbit! That is why the moon has so many craters as it is constantly being battered. The craters were caused mainly by impacts by objects from space.


How were craters formed on Phobos and Deimos?

The craters on Phobos and Deimos were formed by impacts from meteoroids and other space debris. These objects collide with the moons' surfaces at high speeds, creating craters of various sizes and shapes. Over time, the accumulation of impact events has resulted in the cratered appearance of both moons.


What Feature is visible on the moon?

Well the Moon has its different ways of showing its feelings and you know it really dose have feelings and really there's no other answer to your question. Lack of an atmosphere :) A+ Awesomeness399


What cause the craters on the Moon's surface?

impact craters right That's right, craters formed when a meteorite hits the moon. You see, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere like earth, which means the meteors won't burn up in the atmosphere. and that means there is no wind to cover up the marks. this doesn't mean Earth doesn't have meteors, many believe a meteor hit the Earth and killed the dinosaurs, they believe the crater for this is the gulf of Mexico.

Are holes in the planets made by asteroids?

Yes, holes in planets can be made by asteroids. When asteroids collide with planets, they can create impact craters that can range in size from small to very large, shaping the planet's surface over time. These impact events can have a significant influence on the geology and landscape of a planet.


What caused the surface of other planets and moon in your solar system to have a crater?

Craters can be the result of volcanic activity or from external impact events (bodies from space striking the planet or moon).

What can you infer from studying the depths and diameters of craters on the moon?

You can calculate how large and how fast the asteroid was that caused the crater. You can work out when the impacts occured and get a rough idea of what space debris there has been and how it might have changed over time.
