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!
What else can I help you with?
Who was the first person to observe the moon through a telescope What features of the moon did he identify?
Galileo was the first person to observe the moon through a telescope.Galileo correctly inferred that some of the light-colored features he saw on the moons surface were highlands, or mountains.
How did the blue moon angelfish get its name?
It would seem to come from an olde English word "belewe" meaning betrayer.This was used by the early clergy to describe a moon which was too early for the lent moon. This moon was called the betrayer moon or belewe moon.
Is the reflection on the moon the continents?
No, they are physical features of the moon itself. The dark areas are geologically younger, and the light areas are older and at a higher elevation.
What tide is formed when the moon sun and earth are lined up?
Spring tides.
Explain how the Moon's gravitational pull can be observed on earth?
The tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull. The moon pulls the water towards it. The moon also pulls the earth towards it, but just a bit less, so there is a bulge(the tide) in the Earth's ocean's on the side nearest the moon and on the side farthest from the moon.
Galileo was the first astronomer to describe surface features of the?
Galileo was the first astronomer to describe the surface features of the moon. Using a telescope, he observed mountains, valleys, and craters on the moon's surface, challenging the prevailing belief that celestial bodies were perfect and unblemished. His observations supported the idea that the moon and other celestial bodies were physical bodies similar to Earth.
Explain what effect the moon's gravity has on the sea?
Due to the moon's strong gravitational pull, relinquished by other planets, tides are formed.
What are the dark features of the moon?
The dark features on the moon are called maria, which are large plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. They appear dark because they consist of basaltic rock, which is darker in color compared to the surrounding highlands on the moon.
What unique features are found on Earth's moon?
The most recent unique feature found on the moon was methane rich pockets of ice formed in the deep craters on the moon
What are the two main features of the moon?
It reflects light from the Sun and it has different phases.
The features on the Moon formed by objects crashing into its surface are?
Impact craters, rays, and ejecta blankets are features on the Moon formed by objects crashing into its surface. Impact craters are circular depressions, rays are lines emanating from impact sites, and ejecta blankets are the material thrown out during impact that surrounds the crater.
Is the moon still volcanic?
No, the moon is no longer volcanic. The volcanic activity that formed the moon's surface features, such as its craters and basins, occurred billions of years ago. Today, the moon is geologically inactive.
The oldest moon features are walled what?
The oldest moon features are walled plains, which are large, flat regions surrounded by rocky walls that formed through volcanic activity and impact events billions of years ago. These features provide valuable information about the early history and geological processes of the moon.
What are the three main surface features on the moon?
The three main surface features on the moon are craters, mountains, and maria (large dark plains). Craters are formed by impacts from meteoroids, mountains are elevated areas caused by the moon's crust being compressed, and maria are low-lying plains formed by ancient volcanic activity.
Explain how gravity formed plants stars earth moon and sun?
It tends to pull material together, and to keep it together.
What are the bumps on the moon called?
the bumps on the moon are called craters which has happened by comets and other objects.
Explain how scientist think the moon was originated?
No one really knows how the Moon was formed. There are a few different hypothesis but not all scientists agree on one. Wikipedia has a short version of 4 of them.
