Why can THEY still see craters on the moon?
Anyone can see craters on the moon. All you have to do is look at it when it's in the sky. There are billions of craters on the lunar surface with more being added almost daily. There will always be craters on the moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them. The lunar craters only form of erosion is from solar bombardment and being hit by another object.
What is unusual about the moon Io?
the moon is smaller and has lots more craters than earth does and night lasts longer on the moon
Why does the moon have more crators than the earth?
because earth has an atmosphere which makes asteroids burn up before they hit the ground but the moon has no atmosphere so it can't stop asteroids. also, the moon shields the earth from some asteroids.
What is visible on the moon?
There are several lunar features that are visible to the naked eye, and more are visible with even a very small telescope.The craters are probably the most obvious; circular impact craters caused by the collision of some very large asteroids or comets have created circular mountain ranges that are hundreds of miles in diameter. There are craters in craters, craters ON craters, and chains of craters. Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, there are no erosive forces to break down and hide the craters (as there is here on Earth) and so the only thing wearing away the old craters are ..... new craters!Lunar craters are usually named for astronomers and scientists.The other major features of the Moon are the maria, or seas. Originally believed to be oceans and seas of water by classical observers, we now believe that they were made by lava flows.
How were the craters on the moon made?
Craters happen when meteorites impact on the Moon's surface. Most of the craters on the Moon are billions of years old, the impacts were much more common during the early stages of the solar system's formation. There are craters on the Earth's surface as well. They are just harder to see, because the surface of the Earth changes faster because we have an atmosphere and erosion.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Can you see craters on the moon from earth?
No. Most of the impact craters that have formed on Earth have been destroyed and buried by geologic processes, processes that the moon lacks. While some recent impact craters on Earth remain visible on the surface, they are too small to be seen from the moon.
Do the craters cause more gravity on the moon?
No. The craters on the moon do not affect its gravity.
Does mercury have more craters than the moon?
Which moon? Different planets have different moons. If you are talking about our moon Murcury has more and deeper craters.
Why does the moon's surface have more craters from meteorite strikes than the Earth surface?
it is easy the eathhave a capa de osono that protect the eath but the moon dont have it
Why does the moon have a bunch of craters?
The moon's craters were formed by impacts from asteroids and meteoroids over billions of years. Unlike Earth, the moon doesn't have an atmosphere to protect it from these collisions, so its surface is more vulnerable to impact cratering. The craters have been preserved because there is no weathering or erosion on the moon to erase them.
Does the moon have more craters than earth?
Yes, the moon has more craters than Earth. This is because the moon lacks an atmosphere to protect its surface from impacting rocks and debris, whereas Earth's atmosphere helps to burn up most objects before they reach the surface.
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.
Does the moon has more craters than the earth?
Yes it does. The Moon has no air to stop meteors.
Why are there more and larger creaters on the surface of the moon than the earth?
Erosion. The earth has suffered its share of impacts, but the eroding effects of wind and water have weathered away all but the biggest or most recent craters. The moon has no atmosphere or water so the impacts there are preserved.
Does the surface of moon and earth both have craters?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth have craters on their surfaces. The Moon's surface is covered with craters formed by impacts from space debris, while on Earth, craters are less common due to erosion and tectonic activity, but they can still be found in certain areas like meteorite impact sites or volcanic regions.
Why does the moon have more craters than the earth?
There is no weathering on the moon so the crater marks do not blend in. Also, the Moon does not have an atmosphere to protect it from smaller debris, so every meteor that hits it leaves a crater instead of burning up in the atmosphere, like most do on Earth.
