Craters on the moon are primarily formed by the impact of meteoroids, asteroids, and comets colliding with its surface at high speeds. Unlike Earth, the moon lacks a significant atmosphere to shield it from these objects, resulting in a higher frequency of impacts. Over billions of years, this has led to the formation of numerous craters, varying in size and depth, as each impact creates a distinct depression. The moon's geological inactivity has preserved these craters, allowing them to remain visible for millions of years.
It got hit by lots of meteors - the trick is that there is little erosion on the moon so all those craters are still there.
The Earth has one natural moon, called "The Moon," and hundreds of artificial moons, called "man-made satellites."
Scientific question there! Well, just to start with, the Moon doesn't have an atmosphere so astroids can crash into it. The moon has crators that formed when astroids crashed. The cool thing is, you can only see one side of the moon! (you might want to look that up too because it is complicated to answer why we only see one side of the moon) and there are theories that explains how the moon formed. One major theory is that an asteroid as big as Mars crashed into the Earth, and the little "dusts" gathered and formed the moon. Hope that answers your question!
The age of the Moon is approximately 4.5 billion years old. So that's 1.64358989 × 1012 days. The Moon takes 27.321582 days to orbit the Earth. So the Moon has orbited the Earth about 60 billion times (60,157,200,634)
of course not
They believed that the moon was made from cheese, because adults (parents, etc) told them it was so.
The moon is made out of cheese, so that means there are MICE living on the moon. =D
no because the light that comes from the moon is from the sun. so it doesnt make its own heat or light. so no
The moon, believe it or not, once was full of lava. That is why there are so many holes in the moon.
because earth has an atmosphere which makes asteroids burn up before they hit the ground but the moon has no atmosphere so it can't stop asteroids. also, the moon shields the earth from some asteroids.
No. The moon has no atmosphere so it can't have tornadoes. But Meteorites can hit the moon. That is why it has so many craters.
Galileo Galile was the first person to observe the moon and he found so many feature like the moon was a perfect spherical shape and so many remarkable things.
