Mostly from asteroid impacts. The moon has no atmosphere to impede an asteroid's approach, or to disturb the land contours after it has landed, so the craters remain permanently visible.
Space rocks. On Earth we would call them "meteors", because they would generally burn up while passing through the atmosphere. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there's nothing to prevent small space rocks from crashing into it. This has left the Moon covered with millions of craters; big craters, little craters, craters IN craters, and craters ON craters.
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
craters
Two types of moon craters are impact craters, formed by asteroids or meteoroids hitting the moon's surface, and volcanic craters, formed by volcanic activity on the moon when magma rises to the surface and erupts.
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
There are 375 craters in the moon.....

there are more craters on the moon then on earth
On the Moon.
craters
The moon gets craters from meteor's that hit it's surface
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.
the moon craters were created by asteroids and meteors. shocking!
The moon looks like a big ball of cheese with holes, these holes are called craters. They are impact craters-the remains of collisions between an asteroid, comet, or meteorite and the Moon. I searched this, and may this help you answer and may God be with you and bless you. ^_^
Yes, there are craters on the Moon. Any planet with a solid surface and not too much of an atmosphere will have craters.
