Did Apollo 11 get hit by a meteor?
No, Apollo 11 did not get hit by a meteor during its mission to the Moon in 1969. The spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon and then returned safely to Earth without encountering any meteor impacts.
Do meteors hit the moon?
Yes, meteors do hit the moon. The moon's surface is pockmarked with craters from impacts of meteors over billions of years. The lack of atmosphere on the moon makes it more susceptible to meteor impacts compared to Earth.
Which planet has a cratered surface similar to Earths moon?
The planet Mercury has the most similar cratered surface compared to the moon.
Why is the moon full of craters but the earth is not?
The Moon's surface is heavily cratered because of of meteor impacts. Meteors are able to more commonly strike the Moon's surface than the Earth's surface because the Moon's atmosphere is not as strong as the Earth's, so less meteors burn up in the Moon's atmosphere than they do in the Earth's atmospheres. So the craters are simply the result of heavy meteor impacts. Answer #2 The moon has no weather to erode craters. Speculation is that the earth has been hit at least as many times as the moon because of our greater mass. Wind, water, and plate tectonics wipe out the evidence on earth.
What is a meteor that strikes the moons surface?
A meteor that strikes the moon's surface is called a meteoroid when it is in space, a meteor when it is burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and a meteorite once it lands on the moon's or Earth's surface.
Did Apollo 11 get hit by a meteor?
No, Apollo 11 did not get hit by a meteor during its mission to the Moon in 1969. The spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon and then returned safely to Earth without encountering any meteor impacts.
What planet is similar to Earth's moon?
The surface of Mercury is a bit like that of the moon. There is no real atmosphere as the planet is too close to the sun and is not massive enough. It is pitted with billions of craters, from meteor impacts. Since there is no atmosphere, there is no weather to errode the features away over time caused by the impacts.
What produced the craters in the moon?
Asteroid/meteor impacts.
Do meteors hit the moon?
Yes, meteors do hit the moon. The moon's surface is pockmarked with craters from impacts of meteors over billions of years. The lack of atmosphere on the moon makes it more susceptible to meteor impacts compared to Earth.

Common between mercury's surface and earth's moon surface?

What do Earth's moon and Mercury's moon have in common?
Nothing. Mercury does not have a moon.

How are earth's moon and mercury's moons alike?
Mercury does not have a moon.
Was our moon affected in any way when the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hit the Earth?
no proof of what happened, but if it was a meteor, parts could have hit off onto the moon.
Is the moon a meteor or make of the earth?
Its a Combination of both
