The far side of the Moon is characterized by a notable absence of large, flat maria (basaltic plains) that are prevalent on the near side. Instead, it features a more rugged terrain with a higher density of impact craters and mountainous regions. This difference is attributed to the thicker crust on the far side, which inhibited volcanic activity and the formation of maria. As a result, the far side presents a starkly different landscape compared to the near side.

Does Saturn have craters or sand?

No. Saturn is one of the gas giants, and is composed almost completely of gas. There is a small core of rock and metals, but there would not likely be any craters or sand there either, given its location protected by huge quantities of gas, and the immense pressures caused by the same volume of gas.


Why do meteors not burn up before the y reach the surface of the moon?

Because... there's almost no atmosphere on the moon. On Earth - the atmosphere causes meteorites to heat up to the point that they usually evaporate before striking the surface. On the moon - they don't heat up enough, and survive to land on the surface.


How much of the moon is almost always in sunlight?

About 50% of the Moon's surface is almost always in sunlight at any given time. However, due to the Moon's synchronous rotation, which keeps the same side facing Earth, only the near side is visible from our planet. The far side of the Moon also receives sunlight, but it is not seen from Earth. Hence, while 50% is illuminated, we only see half of that illuminated surface from our perspective.
