What are the bumps on the moon called?

the bumps on the moon are called craters which has happened by comets and other objects.


Why does the moon have crators in it?

The craters on the moon were formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids over billions of years. Since the moon has little to no atmosphere to burn up these objects before they hit the surface, they collide directly with the moon's rocky terrain, creating craters of various sizes.


When objects hit the moon they created craters or?

When objects hit the moon, they create craters due to the impact of the collision. The energy from the impact causes the surface material to be displaced and ejected, leaving behind a depression in the surface known as a crater.


How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?

Objects fall towards the ground due to gravity on both Earth and the moon. However, the acceleration due to gravity is higher on Earth than on the moon, so objects fall faster on Earth compared to the moon. Additionally, the lack of atmosphere on the moon affects the way objects fall by reducing air resistance.


When the Moon is farthest from the Earth this point is called .?

The moon is said to be at its Perigee when at its closest point to the Earth, Apogee when at its furthest point. Perigee and Apogee can also be used for other objects when orbiting about the Earth. If we talk about objects orbiting the sun (such as the planets) we use the term Perihelion and Aphelion (the helion part coming from the latin name of helios for the sun). If the perigee coincides with a full moon, we get a `supermoon`. The moon is at its largest circumference as it is at its closest, and is also full.

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.


Why are there craters on the moon?

Craters on the moon are formed when objects from space, like asteroids or meteoroids, collide with its surface. The moon lacks an atmosphere to protect it, so these objects hit the surface directly, creating impact craters. Over time, these craters have accumulated, giving the moon its pockmarked appearance.
