What would happen if an atomic bomb hit the earth's core?
very little
How are the craters on mars caused?
The craters are formed by a large object such as an asteroid or a comet. When these large objets hit the surface they form holes. Known as craters. Craters can be many shapes and sizes depending on the object. That's how craters are formed. Mars has a much thinner atmosphere than Earth, so more objects reach the Martian surface intact, and the lack of water, glaciers, and plate tectonic mean the craters last longer than they do on Earth.
What object would hit earth?
It is quite common for small meteors to hit the Earth. Larger impacts by an asteroid or comet are also possible but happen much less often.
What would happen if you dropped two rocks simultaneously on the moon?
they would hit the surface at the same time, same as on earth.
Why are some areas of the moon smooth with no craters?
... as compared to Earth, I suppose. On Earth, the weather will remove most traces of craters rather quickly, in a few million years for large craters, in a fraction of a million years for smaller craters.... as compared to Earth, I suppose.

What burn up craters before they hit the earth?
Nothing burns up craters before they hit earth.
Names of craters that hit the Earth?
See link
What are the Trench-like areas on the moon?
Craters? If we didn't have the moon everything would hit the earth. Who ever wrote that is a liar! Actually the Earth's atmosphere burns up our meters. And craters is correct.
What would happen if a meteorite had to hit earth?
the earth would be destroyed
How do astriods affect earth?
Astroids can form huge craters when they hit Earth
What happened to all of earths craters?
Erosion and coverage. Weather, rain, floods, wind, earthquakes, plants and so on have eroded much of the craters that were on earth. Vegetation helps to disguise earth's craters as well. Since Earth has had an atmosphere for quite some time, many meteors burn up in the atmosphere before they would hit earth and leave a crater. Now only some of the largest craters are visible.
Does only the moon have craters?
No, Earth has some craters, but not as many because Earth has an atmosphere to destroy or smallen meteors, but the moon does not, so it is hit by meteors more3 often.
Huge craters formed when a large meteor hit earth?
Yes, sometimes they did.
What would happen if a gamma ray burst hit the earth?
The atmosphere would be fried and the Earth would disentegrate.
Does the moon has craters?
The moon has plenty of craters, many of which can be seen from Earth, with a good telescope or binoculars. The craters are there, because the moon has no atmosphere for the objects to burn up in, so all of them hit the moon.
What will happen if a star hits earth?
It would be better to ask what would happen if Earth hit a star, as stars are much larger than Earth is. The planet would be vaporized by the intense heat.
What would happen if an atomic bomb hit the earth's core?
very little
