How do you describe the main differences and similarities between moon rocks and earth rocks?
Moon rocks are unique in that they have tiny craters, and even tinier craters within those tiny craters. And within those tiny craters within the tiny craters are even tinier craters. This is due to micrometers which do not reach the earth's surface. It's also a result of large meteors splattering small pieces of moon regolith as secondary meteors. None of this is possible on earth. The similarity between moon rocks and earth rocks is that they are basically feldspars and basalt, the same thing that makes up the earth's crust.
Why are craters harder to see on earth then on the moon?
Air and water will gradually transform the craters, making them hard to see. The craters will be "washed away". On the Moon, it takes much longer for a crater to become "washed away".Air and water will gradually transform the craters, making them hard to see. The craters will be "washed away".

What has more influence on tides moon or sun?
The earth has actually receives more large impacts than the moon because it is a larger target, but we don't usually notice them because plate tectonics and other forces resurface the earth eliminating the craters completely and erosion wears them down making them hard to identify. None of these forces operate on the moon, so the impact craters all remain easy to see.The earth does receive fewer small impacts than the moon because these objects usually burn up in the atmosphere. The moon has no atmosphere, thus all these small objects also produce impact craters.
What did the Neil Armstrong do on the moon?
He planted the first human footstep onto the moon's surface and set the US Flag. He stayed less than an hour on the moon testing gravity and doing experiments. He also walked near craters.
How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.

How many craters are in the moon.?

Do silicate rocks have greater or lesser density than moon and earths density?
Less than. The moon rock density is greater in ferromagnesion and nickel content, with greater density, whereas silicate rocks contain largely quartz and feldspar minerals.
What are the large holes on the moon called?
The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê

What is moon craters?
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.
