Craters on the moon are formed when objects from space, like asteroids or meteoroids, collide with its surface. The moon lacks an atmosphere to protect it, so these objects hit the surface directly, creating impact craters. Over time, these craters have accumulated, giving the moon its pockmarked appearance.
The moon has more visible craters on its surface compared to Earth because it lacks an atmosphere to protect it from impacting objects. Earth's atmosphere burns up most small asteroids and meteoroids before they can reach the surface, resulting in fewer visible impact craters. Additionally, the moon's lack of geological activity means that its craters remain preserved over time.
Craters last for millions of years on the surface of the moon because the moon does not have an atmosphere. Saying this the moon does not have anything able to fill in the craters such as soil or rain.
The moon has many craters because it lacks an atmosphere to protect it from impacts by meteoroids and asteroids. When these space rocks collide with the moon's surface, they create craters that remain preserved due to the moon's inactive geological processes.
The Moon
Impact craters.
It is rocky with craters.
Galileo discovered craters on the moon so therefor technically he discovered craters.
Galileo Galilei.
craters form when a metorite strikes earth then resulting in a dent in the earths crust
he discovered that there were craters on the moon
Galileo Galilei
The Physicist, Galileo Galilei.
Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.
The moon is known for having many craters. Some of the craters have been given names by various astronomers and scientists, based on explorations of the moon done by NASA
The firat things spotted on the moon were craters , boulders and no wind.
Mercury looks a lot like the far side of the moon. It is lifeless and littered with countless craters.
