Well, honey, those craters come from impacts by asteroids and meteoroids that just couldn't resist breaking in unannounced. They leave those craters all over the moon's surface, giving it that texture of a Golf ball that Dracula might have taken a swing at. The impact of these craters helps scientists understand the history of our cosmic neighborhood and gives the moon character – like beauty marks on a model...if you're into that sort of thing.
When objects hit the moon, they create craters due to the impact of the collision. The energy from the impact causes the surface material to be displaced and ejected, leaving behind a depression in the surface known as a crater.
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
Io, one of Jupiter's moons, does not have many impact craters on its surface because its surface is constantly being resurfaced by volcanic activity. The geologically active nature of Io means that the lava flows and volcanic eruptions continuously erase any impact craters that may form on its surface.
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.
The depressions on the Moon's surface are called craters. They are formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets hitting the Moon's surface.
Impact craters occur where objects impact on a solid surface.

Impact craters
Impact craters.
Meteor impact, volcanism, bombs.
The moon looks like a big ball of cheese with holes, these holes are called craters. They are impact craters-the remains of collisions between an asteroid, comet, or meteorite and the Moon. I searched this, and may this help you answer and may God be with you and bless you. ^_^

By the impact of meteorites. There is no atmosphere on the Moon, so no weathering to wear /erode the craters. But for the atmosphere on Earth, weathering the surface, and the activity of man, the Earth there would also be plenty of visible craters on Earth.
