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.
What else can I help you with?
Did volcanic eruptions cause craters on the Moon?
Some were probably volcanic but the craters large enough to be seen with smaller telescopes were almost all made by impacts.
Who used a telescope to discover craters on the moon?
Many of the larger craters on the moon can be seen from earth without a telescope, so nobody discovered craters on the moon with a telescope.
What might be responsible for most of the craters on earth's moon?
Most of the craters on Earth's moon are believed to have been caused by impacts from meteoroids, asteroids, and comets over millions of years. These impactors have struck the moon's surface and created the circular depressions we see as craters.
Why do craters stay on the moon?
there is no wind on the moon
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.
How are craters made?
Craters were probably caused by meteors that hit the moon. Craters can also be made by non-active volcanoes
What are the large indentions on the surface of the Moon?
You're probably talking about craters. Craters are made when an Asteroid hits the moon.
Why the moon has holes?
They're craters - made by meteors crashing on the moon
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
How many craters are in the moon.?
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
How were the dark spots on the moon made?
They were created by meteors hitting the moon and making craters.
What are the holes in the moon called?
I think there are called craters. I thinks so dont take my word for it.
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
Who first observed that the moon had craters?
The Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was the first to observe that the moon had craters. He made this discovery in 1609 through his telescope.
Who has more craters the earth or the moon?
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
Did volcanic eruptions cause craters on the Moon?
Some were probably volcanic but the craters large enough to be seen with smaller telescopes were almost all made by impacts.
How were the moons craters created?
The moons craters would have been made by pieces of rock - meteroids. These collided with the moon in the past to make the craters. Material ejected from the collision would then have fallen back to the surface of the moon to make further smaller craters further away.
