Which scientists discovered the craters of Earth's moon?
The craters on Earth's moon were discovered by famous astronomers like Galileo Galilei and Giovanni Cassini in the 17th century. Their observations through telescopes revealed the presence of these impact features on the lunar surface.
What is the surfuce of the moon like?
The surface of the Moon is rocky and covered with craters, mountains, and plains. It has no atmosphere, so there is no weathering or erosion like on Earth. The surface is also covered in a layer of fine, powdery dust called regolith.
Why are more craters present on the moons surface than on earths?
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.
Why are there craters on the moon?
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.
Why are there more visible impact craters on the moon than on earth?
The moon has no atmosphere and hence no weather. Weather causes erosion. Living things are another cause of erosion that happens on Earth and not on the moon. The Earth is also more tectonically active. Continental drift happens on Earth, but doesn't happen on the moon. And earthquakes and volcanoes resulting from plate tectonics also can obliterate impact craters. And even the fact that the moon has a lower gravity than the Earth helps to preserve its craters; the walls of the craters weigh less and are therefore less likely to collapse.The earth has an atmosphere and the moon does not. Very little changes on the moon but on earth the weather changes the landscape and overgrowth covers up otherwise more obvious patterns.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Why earth has no carters like the moon?
Earth does have craters, but unlike on the moon, craters are quickly hidden or destroyed by erosion, sedimentation, and geologic activity.
Why does the moon have crates?
The moon has craters because since it does not have an atmosphere like the Earth does, it is prone to meteors which cause craters.
Which planet has craters like the earth moon's?
Mercury
Why does the moon have craters an the earth does not?
The Earth does have craters, but because of the seas and vegetation on land, they are not as noticeable. However there are some that are very noticeable, like the famous one in Arizona. Craters on Earth and the Moon are caused by impacts of meteorites.
Why do the craters on the moon do not get weathred and eroded like craters on earth?
Because there is practically no atmosphere on the Moon and so there is no real weather like wind, rain etc. that causes weathering, like there is on Earth.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth have craters on their surfaces. The Moon's surface is covered with craters formed by impacts from space debris, while on Earth, craters are less common due to erosion and tectonic activity, but they can still be found in certain areas like meteorite impact sites or volcanic regions.
What caused of the craters of the moon?
comets hitting the Moon's surface. Just like Earth :)
Why more craters are present on the Moon's surface than on Earth's?
because the moon does not have a equater like the earth to protact it self ;)
Why are craters preserved on the moon but not on earth?
Earth is geologically active and has wind and water to erode craters. The moon is geologically dead and has no atmosphere and thus no erosion. There is nothing on the moon to destroy impact craters.
What are the Trench-like areas on the moon?
Craters? If we didn't have the moon everything would hit the earth. Who ever wrote that is a liar! Actually the Earth's atmosphere burns up our meters. And craters is correct.
What landforms do the earth and moon have?
Craters
