Basically, the atmosphere protects the earth to a great degree and the geological process always going on in and on the earth cover and change many crater sites.

How do you think craters are formed on the moon?

Craters on the moon are primarily formed by impacts from meteoroids, asteroids, and comets. When these celestial bodies collide with the moon's surface at high speeds, they create craters by excavating material and displacing rocks. Over time, impacts have accumulated and formed the diverse range of craters seen on the moon today.

Who was the first person to study craters on the moon?

The first person to study craters on the Moon was Galileo Galilei in the early 17th century. He observed the Moon through a telescope and documented his findings, including the presence of craters on its surface.


How do astronomers think craters were created on the moon and planets?

Astronomers believe craters on the moon and other planets were created by impacts from asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. When these objects collide with the surface, they excavate debris and create large indentations in the crust. The size and shape of the craters can provide valuable insights into the history of impacts in the solar system.


What percentage of the moon is covered in maria?

The dark areas on the Moon's surface are called maria. The maria cover only 15 percent of the lunar surface. The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas. Mare Imbrium or the Sea of Showers is the largest mare at 700 miles in diameter.

How many craters do scientists think Neptune has?

Scientists know, not think, Neptune has zero craters.Neptune is a gas giant. Gas giants do not have a solid rocky surface. Therefore nothing can impact against the planet to form craters.
