What else can I help you with?
Does mercury have more craters than the moon?
Which moon? Different planets have different moons. If you are talking about our moon Murcury has more and deeper craters.
What are the moon's heavily cratered regions called?
The heavily cratered regions on the moon are called the highlands or the lunar highlands. These areas are older and have more craters compared to the smoother maria regions.
Does the moon has more craters than the earth?
Yes it does. The Moon has no air to stop meteors.
Can you see craters on the moon from earth?
No. Most of the impact craters that have formed on Earth have been destroyed and buried by geologic processes, processes that the moon lacks. While some recent impact craters on Earth remain visible on the surface, they are too small to be seen from the moon.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth have craters on their surfaces. The Moon's surface is covered with craters formed by impacts from space debris, while on Earth, craters are less common due to erosion and tectonic activity, but they can still be found in certain areas like meteorite impact sites or volcanic regions.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.

Why do craters on the moon go undisturbed?
The moon has no geologic activity, no atmosphere, and no water, so there is nothing to disturb the craters except for more asteroid and comet impacts.
Which side of the moon has more craters?
The side of the moon that faces Earth (the near side) has more craters compared to the far side. This is because the near side is more exposed to impacts from space debris due to its proximity to Earth, while the far side is shielded from some impacts by the moon itself.
Why can THEY still see craters on the moon?
Anyone can see craters on the moon. All you have to do is look at it when it's in the sky. There are billions of craters on the lunar surface with more being added almost daily. There will always be craters on the moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them. The lunar craters only form of erosion is from solar bombardment and being hit by another object.
How do you use crater counts to determine the age of surfaces?
The more craters, the older the surface. If a surface is young, there will be fewer craters.
Why can we see the craters of the moon so clearly from earth?
We can see the craters of the moon clearly from Earth because the moon has no atmosphere to erode them, so they remain preserved. When the sun shines on the moon's surface at an angle, it creates long shadows that make the craters stand out more prominently, enhancing their visibility from Earth.
