What is A bowl shaped hole on the surface of a planet or moon that was caused by the impact of meteorite?
This is known as an impact crater. Please see the related link.
When a meteorite slams into a rocky planets surface it makes what?
When a meteorite impacts a rocky planet's surface, it creates a crater due to the immense energy released upon impact. The impact also generates shock waves that can cause the surrounding rock to shatter and melt, forming impact melt rocks. Additionally, ejected debris can be scattered around the impact site, creating a distinctive pattern called ejecta.
When objects hit the moon they created craters or?
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.
How does the height of the object or distance from the surface affect the impact crater?
Due to height and pressure
What is lunar craters?
It's a crater on the surface of the Moon, probably the result of an asteroid impact.
A bowl shaped depression on a planet or moon?
This is likely a crater, which is formed by the impact of a meteorite or other celestial object hitting the surface of the planet or moon. The impact causes material to be displaced, creating a bowl-shaped depression in the ground.

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).

Why does mercury's surface have so many crater impact scars?

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.
What is the largest type of crater?
Multi-ring basin craters are the largest type of crater found in the solar system. They are caused by the asteroid hitting a hard, rigid surface and causing ripples in the layer under the surface.
The hole left by a meteorite is called?
The hole left by a meteorite is called an impact crater. These craters are formed when a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet impacts the surface of a planet or moon. The size and shape of the impact crater depend on various factors including the size and speed of the impacting object, as well as the composition of the surface it hits.
How does crater density relate to the moons geologic history?
The greater the crater density, the older the surface must be old.
What is a hole in the surface of a moon or planet formed by the impact of a space object is called?
A crater
