What else can I help you with?
What is the holes on the moon?
The holes on the moon are called craters, which are formed when meteoroids or comets collide with the lunar surface. These impacts create indentations of various sizes and depths on the moon's surface.
Why do the moon and mercury have more meteor impacts then earth?
There is no erosion on the moon and mercury to erase the impact sites.
Did Apollo 11 get hit by a meteor?
No, Apollo 11 did not get hit by a meteor during its mission to the Moon in 1969. The spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon and then returned safely to Earth without encountering any meteor impacts.
Do meteors hit the moon?
Yes, meteors do hit the moon. The moon's surface is pockmarked with craters from impacts of meteors over billions of years. The lack of atmosphere on the moon makes it more susceptible to meteor impacts compared to Earth.
Impact craters are caused by?
It is caused by a collision of smaller body called the meteor, with the surface.
What produced the craters in the moon?
Asteroid/meteor impacts.

What caused the caters on the moon's surface?
The craters on the Moon are caused by the impacts of meteoroids.
Did Apollo 11 get hit by a meteor?
No, Apollo 11 did not get hit by a meteor during its mission to the Moon in 1969. The spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon and then returned safely to Earth without encountering any meteor impacts.
Dark regions on the surface of the moon are generally?
Dark regions on the surface of the moon are generally basalt flows. Basalt is a dark rock. The flows have been caused by rock melting due to heat generated by meteor impacts.
What planet is similar to Earth's moon?
The surface of Mercury is a bit like that of the moon. There is no real atmosphere as the planet is too close to the sun and is not massive enough. It is pitted with billions of craters, from meteor impacts. Since there is no atmosphere, there is no weather to errode the features away over time caused by the impacts.
What might be responsible for most of the craters on earth's moon?
Most of the craters on Earth's moon are believed to have been caused by impacts from meteoroids, asteroids, and comets over millions of years. These impactors have struck the moon's surface and created the circular depressions we see as craters.
Do meteors hit the moon?
Yes, meteors do hit the moon. The moon's surface is pockmarked with craters from impacts of meteors over billions of years. The lack of atmosphere on the moon makes it more susceptible to meteor impacts compared to Earth.
Impact craters are caused by?
It is caused by a collision of smaller body called the meteor, with the surface.
Reasons for the Moon's features?
The Moon's craters are largely caused by meteor impacts, other features are due to geologic (or selenologic I suppose) activity, much like earth. Because no air or water to speake of, there is no erosion hence features remain static for a long time.
What is the remainder of a meteor which impacts the ground called?
The remainder of a meteor that impacts the ground is called a meteorite.
