The moon doesn't have an atmosphere and there any space matter will strike directly, where the earths atmosphere generally burns up space matter on entry. However, if you were on the moon and looked at the earth we are heavily pitted, think of the landscape near where you are
What else can I help you with?
Why is the moons surface much more heavily cratered than earths surface?
A Biblical answer from Genesis 1 would be that in the beginning the Earth was covered with water. During creation week this water was separated into areas on the Earth and above the Earth. Like seas/lakes below and a "giant peel" of water above somewhere in the stratosphere. Any Meteors impacting the earth at first would fall in water, later go through the "peel of water". So only after the Flood Meteors that survived the Atmosphere would hit the Earth and leave a crater, hence less craters on Earth.
Can super moons cause earthquakes?
There is no scientific evidence to suggest that supermoons can directly cause earthquakes. Earthquakes are primarily triggered by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, not by the gravitational effects of the moon. While the moon's gravitational pull can influence tides on Earth, its impact on seismic activity is not significant.
What is half the size of earth has two moons and has a atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide?
The planet that is half the size of the earth, has 2 moons, and has an atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide is Mars. The average length of a day on Mars is 37 minutes longer than that of the Earth.
Is the same size as earth has no moons and has thick atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide?
The planet you are describing matches the characteristics of Venus. Venus is nearly the same size as Earth, has no moons, and its atmosphere is mostly composed of carbon dioxide, with thick clouds of sulfuric acid.
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.
What is the earth's moons surface like?
The moons surface is covered with regolith. There are 2 main kinds of surface; maria and highlands. There are lots of craters and dust. the moons sky is always black.it has no air or water
What occurs when the moons shadow falls on the earth surface?
eclipse
What is moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
Is the moons surface rocky?
yes it has canyons and mountains like earth
Why don't moons have moons?
The moon has plenty of gravity. In accordance with its mass and radius, any object weighs about 16.5% as much on the moon's surface as it does on the Earth's surface.
Which moon is callisto?
Callisto is one of the four largest moons of Jupiter. It is known for its heavily cratered surface and its icy composition. Callisto is considered to be one of the most heavily cratered bodies in the solar system.
What planet is the moon Phobos associated with?
Phobos is one of the moons of Mars. It is the larger of the two moons orbiting Mars and is an irregularly shaped object with a heavily cratered surface.
How many times can the Moon fit in the Earth?
approximately 6 Moons can fit in the Earth.
What texture does the moon have?
The moon's surface has a rough and rocky texture, with areas covered in impact craters, mountains, and valleys. When viewed up close, the surface appears to be pitted and uneven due to countless meteorite impacts over its history.
What are the features of Callisto?
Callisto is one of Jupiter's moons and it is the most heavily cratered object in the solar system. It has a very thin atmosphere composed mostly of carbon dioxide. Callisto's surface is icy and heavily marked by impact craters of various sizes.
Is there a hole in the moon's surface?
Yes, the moon does not have holes like Earth does. However, it does have craters, which are formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids. These craters can appear as "holes" on the moon's surface when viewed from a distance.
What powers surface ocean currents?
Uneven heating from the sun.
