... 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.

∙ 13y agoThe moon has existed for a lot of years. In all those years the moon has been hit by meteors many times. The first ''detection'' of an impact on the moon, happened in 1178 on 18th of June. 5 Canterbury monks saw what appeared to be an explosion on the moon. They quickly reported it to the master monk, and he wrote it in a book. The book is very well conceived. So the many craters and valleys, simply come from meteors and meteorites!

What are some physical features of the moon callisto?
Some physical features on the moon are craters, lava plains, etc. Some physical features on the moon are craters, lava plains, etc. Some physical features on the moon are craters, lava plains, etc.
What are some landforms found on the moon surface?
rilles highlands volcanic dome ray crater craters and a maria.
Why are there dents on the moon what are they th ere for?
The dents (properly called craters) in the moon are caused by the impacts of comets and asteroids (bodies from space) hitting the moon very hard and fast (a long time ago). Subsequently some of the craters have been filled with lava from the interior of the moon these form the dark areas that you can see on the moon.
How deep are some of the Moon's craters?
1 mm
Which body has many craters in space?
The moon is known for having many craters. Some of the craters have been given names by various astronomers and scientists, based on explorations of the moon done by NASA

What are some geological features of the moon?
holes in the moon and foot prints and craters
What are some lunar features of the moon?
No atmosphere, dry, dusty, rocky surface, mountain ranges, maria: low, flat areas, dark areas (basaltic lava) impact craters.

Why does the moon have craters an the earth does not?
The Earth does have craters, but because of the seas and vegetation on land, they are not as noticeable. However there are some that are very noticeable, like the famous one in Arizona. Craters on Earth and the Moon are caused by impacts of meteorites.
Are there bottomless craters on the moon?
Yes there are craters, and yes some of them are very deep. All craters, however, do in fact have a bottom. A bottomless crater would actually be best described as a "hole," and there are no holes through the Moon.
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.
What are some landforms on the moon?
Craters, Mountains, Plains, Lava flows
What is the moon's terrain?
full of craters some of them very very large
