Does the moon have rays?
Yes, the moon does not have its own rays. The rays we see are actually caused by sunlight reflecting off the surface of the moon, particularly from the craters and mountains.
The features on the Moon formed by objects crashing into its surface are?
Impact craters, rays, and ejecta blankets are features on the Moon formed by objects crashing into its surface. Impact craters are circular depressions, rays are lines emanating from impact sites, and ejecta blankets are the material thrown out during impact that surrounds the crater.
Bright streaks radiating from craters?
Bright streaks radiating from craters on celestial bodies like the Moon or Mars are likely to be caused by the ejection of lighter-colored material during impacts. These streaks, known as rays, are formed when the impact throws out material from beneath the surface, exposing brighter material that contrasts with the surrounding darker surface. They can help scientists understand the age and composition of the surface.
What are the bright streaks radiating from craters on the Moon?
These fine radial streaks are simply refered to as rays. They are formed from the ejecta from the explosion, from the Moon being hit at high speed. You may see Related Links for more information on crater rays.
What are the long trails of ejecta that radiate outward from craters called?
The long trails of ejecta that radiate outward from craters are called "rays." These rays are formed when material is ejected during the impact event of a meteorite or asteroid striking a planetary surface, such as the Moon or other celestial bodies. The rays can extend for many kilometers and are often more prominent on younger craters, indicating their relatively recent formation.
What are bright streaks around moon craters?
Rays
Does the moon have rays?

What features of the moon are caused by rocks or comets that crash into its surface?
Impact craters, rays, and regolith (loose, fragmented material) are features on the moon caused by rocks or comets crashing into its surface. Impact craters are circular depressions formed by high-speed impacts, rays are long trails of ejecta material, and regolith is the layer of broken rock and dust covering the moon's surface.
What are the bright streaks around a moon craters fanning out from the crater like the spokes on a wheel?
They are rays

Lunar rays are apparently the same age as lunar craters?
craters... :)

What are the characteristics of the moon?
The moon has many characteristics, but which are unique? well, there are quite a few!! - craters - no atmosphere - special layers and phases - canyons and mountains - aluminum and titanium crust - there are many moons in the solar system, not just one!!
What caused craters plains rays rills and mountain ranges on the moon?
Craters on the moon are formed by the impact of meteoroids and asteroids. Plains are formed by lava flows from ancient volcanic activity. Rays are created by material ejected during impacts. Rills are likely channels formed by ancient lava flows or collapsing lava tubes. Mountain ranges are the result of tectonic activity and volcanic processes.
What are bright streaks around a moon crater?
