Craters don't hit anything. A crater is a hole or dent left by an explosion or a collision. Although Pluto has never been photographed with enough detail to see any craters, there is no doubt that it has them as all major bodies in the solar system experience collisions and Pluto is in a region where it has a fair chance of colliding with comets.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the things that hit the moon to make the craters?
The craters on the moon were formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets.
Does planet Pluto have any valleys?
Pluto, visible only through a telescope, appears to have valleys or fresh impact craters, that show up as darker spots. On Pluto, the Sun appears as only a bright star in the sky. Pluto is smaller than the Earth's Moon and consists of rock and ice.
How many planets does Pluto have?
Pluto has craters and so do some other planets. Pluto has some craters and some of the planet is just rocky because of the rock and ice it's made of. 1/31/2011 From : Professor Ron Stewart If you'll go to http://orie-technologies.weebly.com by this afternoon there will be reference to several scientific published papers from scientists and scientific articles from sources like the on line scientific journals like :" Science-Daily" that show Pluto, and its moon Charon, have craters on them. On this same web site there will be new images and slide show demos (never seen by any human until now). Using a new space exploration technology named ORIE (Optical Remote Imaging Enhancement.) which (5-7 yrs.) ahead of time can show you what Pluto, Charon, and Nix look like before the New Horizons Spacecraft gets to Pluto. The scientific evidence, images, and slide demos may give evidence of this. All of this data and evidence will show Pluto, Charon, Nix to not only have 'craters' on them but a considerable amount of ice and and rock as well. There will also be new images and slide show demos showing new possible dwarf planets or moons beyond Pluto and what they also may look like. For more reading on this within the next few days you may also want to check out the peer-reviewed science journal named :"Journal of Science" that will have a new scientific paper on all of these things discussed above. Which may also be found at: http://journalofscience.weebly.com .
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.
Is there anything special about Pluto?
Pluto is unique in our solar system as the only dwarf planet. It has a highly elliptical orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune at times. Pluto is also known for its large moon, Charon, which is so large in comparison that they orbit each other, creating a binary system.
Does Pluto have cliffs and craters?
Pluto has only been observed from orbit, but it does appear to have cliffs and craters.
Which planets have craters?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Pluto
Do any of Pluto's craters have names?
Not yet. Pluto is so small and far away that even our best telescopes can't get a good enough picture of it to see craters. That will change when the New Horizons probe passes by Pluto and takes some closer photos.
What burn up craters before they hit the earth?
Nothing burns up craters before they hit earth.
What happens after a craters hits the moon?
Craters don't hit moons. Craters are the results of meteorites hitting moons.
How does the moon get craters?
The moon gets craters from meteor's that hit it's surface
Why does the have craters?
Flying debris in space, such as meteors, hit the moon and it forms craters.
How are craters made?
Craters were probably caused by meteors that hit the moon. Craters can also be made by non-active volcanoes
When did craters get on mercury?
when meteors hit it
Does Pluto have any special features?
Pluto has many features on it. One bieing highlands. Another being maria. And another being craters. those are some features on pluto, they are pretty much the same as our moons
Does Pluto have any rings or craters?
yes it does have rings according to NASA it was discovered on may-5-08
Who was the first to hit Pluto?
Pluto was never visited.
