What else can I help you with?
Why does the earth have little impact craters?
The Earth has relatively few impact craters compared to other celestial bodies due to processes like erosion, weathering, and tectonic activity that constantly reshape the surface. Also, Earth's atmosphere protects it from smaller meteoroids, burning them up before they reach the surface.
Why do people say that the moon is made out of cheese?
From the Earth, a full moon looks yellow like cheese and the craters look like the holes in Swiss Cheese.
What does earth's moon look like?
The Earth's moon appears as a round, rocky body that reflects sunlight to varying degrees, giving it different phases throughout the month. Its surface is pockmarked with craters, mountains, and plains, and it has a grayish color due to the presence of rocky materials like basalt and anorthosite.
How do mountains or craters on the surfaces of the earth and the moon compare with each other?
The biggest difference is the craters on the moon erode at a much slower rate. Here on earth, it takes a few thousand years for a crater to fill in and become not much more than a valley. On the moon, the craters last until ejecta from newer craters fills the holes of the older craters. The mountains of the earth are covered with snow and below the timberline lie trees. There is no snow or trees on the moon. The mountains on the moon look a lot sharper and the rocks stand out because they're not covered in dust. The lunar mountains look much rounder and the entire surface of the moon is covered in a very thin layer of dust.
How do you determine old craters from new craters?
Old craters typically have more erosion, with smoother edges and a shallower depth compared to new craters. New craters have sharp, well-defined edges with steep walls and a more prominent central peak. Additionally, the presence or absence of overlapping craters can also help distinguish between old and new craters.

Does the earth have craters like the moon?
Yes, it does. For more info go take a look in an Astronomy book.
What do craters look like?
they look like big indentions
What does the shape of the earth look like?
Earth is more of an oval compared to all the other planets.

What are very large craters most likely the result of?
Most craters are caused by meteorites crashing to the planet. However, some volcanoes when formed, look like craters.

What the planets look like?
They look like uninhabitable wasteland with many different size craters and other features.
What does the moon look like when it it full?
a circle, and you can sometimes see craters
What did the moon look like on 12712?
old, dusty and full of craters
