Why can't astronomers use a telescope to study the entire surface of the moon?
The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth. Meteors seen on Earth are so brief and fast and enclosed by the atmosphere, and so far from the Moon that you would not see Earth's meteors from the Moon.The moon has no atmosphere, so there is nothing there to burn up the dust and dirt and ice and rocks, turning them into meteors, as happens on Earth.

How often do meteors hit the moon?
Meteors hit the moon fairly frequently due to its lack of atmosphere to burn them up before impact. The Moon's surface is covered with impact craters, evidence of past meteor strikes. On average, it is estimated that the Moon is hit by meteors about 2800 times per year.
Does the atmosphere protect us from meteors?
It does to some extent. Rocky meteors typically burn up as they pass through our thick atmosphere. Nickel-iron meteors can burn up, but usually have the mass to punch through to some degree.
Why don't meteors burn up when they first enter earth atmosphere?
Most do burn up entirely but the very largest ones do not completely burn up.
Where do meteors burn up while entering the earth's atmosphere?
yes
The moon has no what to make meteors burn up?
Atmosphere.
Why does the moon have lots of crater when the earth only has a bit?
because the moon hasn't got an atmosphere for the meteors to burn up in

How do meteors burn in space?
They don't. Meteors only burn when they enter the tmosphere, where the friction burns them up.
Why do more meteors hit the moon than the earth?
More meteors hit the moon than the earth because the moon has no atmosphere to burn up the meteors before impact. Earth's atmosphere acts as a protective barrier, causing most meteors to disintegrate before reaching the surface. The moon's lack of atmosphere means more meteors make it to the surface, leaving more visible impact craters.
Do the meteors burn up in the mesosphere?
Meteors burn up in the Mesosphere because of friction between the meteors and the molecules located here. The mesosphere is the coldest part of the Earth's atmosphere.
Why is the moon surface so messed up?
it has a lot of craters caused by astriods or meteors i dont know the difference

When do meteors burn up?
They may burn up while travelling through the earth's atmosphere.
How do meteors disappear?
Meteors do not just disappear. Meteors either land somewhere on Earth out of site or they just burn up in the atmosphere.
Why do meteors burn up entering earth but not the moon?
The reason meteors burn up is due to friction in the Earth's atmosphere. An object moving very quickly through the atmosphere heats up due to friction with the atmosphere and this heat causes it's surface to boil and evaporate and sometimes to explode. The moon has no appreciable atmosphere and so objects would just plummet to its surface without resistance.
Does the atmosphere protect us from meteors?
It does to some extent. Rocky meteors typically burn up as they pass through our thick atmosphere. Nickel-iron meteors can burn up, but usually have the mass to punch through to some degree.
