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.
Some were probably volcanic but the craters large enough to be seen with smaller telescopes were almost all made by impacts.
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.
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.
there is no wind on the moon
The craters on the moon were formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets.
Craters were probably caused by meteors that hit the moon. Craters can also be made by non-active volcanoes
You're probably talking about craters. Craters are made when an Asteroid hits the moon.
They're craters - made by meteors crashing on the moon
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
There are 375 craters in the moon.....
They were created by meteors hitting the moon and making craters.
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
I think there are called craters. I thinks so dont take my word for it.
there are more craters on the moon then on earth
The Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei was the first to observe that the moon had craters. He made this discovery in 1609 through his telescope.
On the Moon.
