Find the moon of Saturn that has a huge crater on it so large that it take up 13 the diameter of this moon?
The moon of Saturn you are referring to is Tethys. It features a massive crater named Odysseus, which is approximately 400 kilometers (about 250 miles) in diameter, making it roughly 13 times smaller than Tethys' own diameter of about 1,062 kilometers (660 miles). This significant size ratio highlights the impact's scale and the moon's geological history.
What caused the Copernicus crater?
The Copernicus crater on the moon was formed by a large impact event, likely from an asteroid or comet colliding with the lunar surface. The impact created a circular depression that we see as the crater today.
What are two of the larger craters on the moon?
The largest crater on the moon is the Aitken Basin. It is 2500 km in diameter and 13km deep. It is located near the Lunar south pole and is not viable from Earth. It is thought to be one of the largest craters in the solar system.Hertzprung is the second largest crater on the moon. It is 591 km in diameter and it located on the dark side of the moon just beyond the west limb.Apollo Crater is the third largest crater on the moon. It is located near the south pole on the far side of the moon. it is 538 km in diameter but its depth is unknown.Korolov Crater is about 437 km in diameter and is located close to the lunar equator on the far side of the moon.Bailly crater is the largest crater visible from Earth. It is 303 km in diameter and 4.3 km deep. Located near the south west limb of the moon.Some craters have flooded with molton lava after the impact. They are now called mare or seas.Mare Ibrium at 1,123 km in diameter is the largest.Mare Tranquillitatis made famous by the Apollo 11 moon landing, is about 873km in diameter.Mare Nubium is about 715 km in diameter.Apollo 17 landed near Mare Serenitatis. It is 707 km in diameter.Mare Orientale is about 327 km in diameter.
The resulting scar from asteroids or comets strikes are called?
The resulting scar from asteroid or comet strikes is called an impact crater. These craters are formed when the meteorite collides with the surface of a planet or moon, causing a depression in the ground.
What is Saturns biggest crater?
There are no craters on Saturn, since it is a gaseous planet. It has no solid surface like that of the Earth or moon for example.
When a meteoroid strikes the moon what forms?
Then a crater will be formed, depends a great deal on its size.
What is the diameter of the Tycho crater on the moon?
its 86.21km wide and 4.8 km deep
Why are some craters on the moon bigger than others?
It all depends on the amount of kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon. The larger the height, and the more kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon the larger the diameter of the crater and the more deeper it is. Hope this helps!
What is a name of a crater on the moon?
One name of a crater on the moon is Tycho. Tycho Crater is a prominent lunar impact crater with a diameter of about 85 kilometers and is located in the southern highlands of the moon. It is easily recognizable due to its bright rays that extend across the lunar surface.

Are there craters on both the earth and moon?
Yes. both the moon and the earth has several craters from meteorites. The most known/largest crater on the earth is the "Barringer Crater" in Arizona which is over a kilometer in diameter and approximately 40'000 years old

What is the name of the oldest crater found on the moon?
The oldest crater found on the moon is thought to be the South Pole-Aitken basin, which is estimated to be around 4 billion years old. It is one of the largest and deepest impact craters in the solar system, spanning over 2,500 kilometers in diameter.
