Is anyone buried on the moon?

No, no humans have been buried on the moon. The only remains on the moon are the artifacts left behind by astronauts during the Apollo missions, such as spacecraft components and lunar rovers.


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 moon have more craters than earth?

Yes, the moon has more craters than Earth. This is because the moon lacks an atmosphere to protect its surface from impacting rocks and debris, whereas Earth's atmosphere helps to burn up most objects before they reach the surface.


Does Moon move due to Earth's gravity?

The Moon, in the absence of the Earth, would move in a straight line. Earth's pull at a given instant of time pulls the moon closer to Earth, the new direction of Moon now being the resultant of it's old motion and Earth's inward pull. The moon would then like to move in a straight line, but along this new direction, on account of its inertia as enunciated by Newton's first law, but the next instant, the Earth pulls again the moon a bit more. If you keep doing this exercise, you will realize that the Moon describes an ellipse. So, the answer to your question is yes and no, yes because Earth makes the Moon move around it in a particular way due to gravity, but the cause of the initial motion of the Moon till Earth got hold of it is probably is buried in the formation of the Solar System!

Would you ever be able to terraform the moon so you can live there?

It seems unlikely. The Moon's gravity is too low to hold much of an atmosphere for long. It's likely that any permanent settlements on the Moon will be mostly buried under the surface.


Where is Neal Armstrong buried?

Why are impact craters on Earth harder to see than those on Mercury or the Moon?

Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.


What is the name of the moon that is covered with volcanoes?

The moon known as "Io" is the innermost largest moon of Jupiter, and it is about the same size and density of Earth's moon. However, Io is the most volcanically active body known in the Solar System. Eruptions are so common, and so large, that the ENTIRE surface of the moon could be buried under 100 metres of material in only 1 million years.
