Mostly meteors
The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.
The dents on the moon are actually impact craters formed by meteoroids colliding with its surface. These craters have accumulated over billions of years and give the moon its characteristic rugged appearance.
No. Almost all large solid objects in the solar system have craters.
Moon craters are bowl-shaped depressions on the surface of the moon created by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, or comets. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and are preserved due to the lack of geological processes like erosion on the moon's surface. Moon craters provide important information about the history of impacts in our solar system.
Space rocks. On Earth we would call them "meteors", because they would generally burn up while passing through the atmosphere. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there's nothing to prevent small space rocks from crashing into it. This has left the Moon covered with millions of craters; big craters, little craters, craters IN craters, and craters ON craters.
the moon craters were created by asteroids and meteors. shocking!
Craters of the Moon National Wilderness was created in 1970.
Craters of the Moon National Preserve was created in 2002.
The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.
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.

No. Almost all large solid objects in the solar system have craters.
They were created by meteors hitting the moon and making craters.
comets or meteores plunge into the moon and make huge holes.
They have collided them and created craters.
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
