The ray systems correspond to the craters produced at the same time. Some ray systems on the Moon are from older craters that have since been overlaid by subsequent impacts in the same area.

What are the long trails of ejecta on the moon's surface called?

The long trails of ejecta on the moon's surface are called lunar rays. These rays are formed when material ejected from a lunar impact event spreads out in long patterns across the surface, creating bright streaks that stand out against the darker lunar terrain.

What are the bright streaks radiating from craters on the Moon?

These fine radial streaks are simply refered to as rays. They are formed from the ejecta from the explosion, from the Moon being hit at high speed. You may see Related Links for more information on crater rays.


Ted is exactly 28 years old He wants to determine his age in lunar yearsWrite the steps Ted should follow to determine his lunar age What is Ted's lunar age in years?

24 years times 365.24 days in a year / 29.53 days in a lunar synodic month = 296.84 lunar synodic months. Sorry, I don't know how many lunar synodic months there are in a lunar year. Someone else please finish the answer.

What are lunar rays?

Lunar rays are bright bands of material thrown out very large distances from impact craters on the Moon. They are also seen on other planets, notably Mercury. They are thought to represent ejected material with a high level of iron oxide and similar materials.

What are rays on the moon?

Rays on the moon are long trails of debris, typically light in color, that radiate out from a crater. They form when material is ejected during the impact that created the crater, and they can extend for hundreds of kilometers. Rays provide valuable information about the age and composition of lunar surface features.
