Was our moon affected in any way when the meteor that killed the dinosaurs hit the Earth?
no proof of what happened, but if it was a meteor, parts could have hit off onto the moon.
Is a meteor terrestrial or gas giant?
Neither. A meteor is not a planet. A meteor is a piece of rock or metal falling through the atmosphere.
What is it called when a meteor produces enough light to cast a shadow on the earth?
A meteor does not produce light, a shadow on the Earth is caused when the meteor blocks the Sun's rays. The meteor does this when it is placed in between the Sun and the Earth, this is called an eclipse.
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.
Seismographs left on the moon by astronauts have shown the moon to have?
a relatively quiet surface with very minimal seismic activity compared to Earth. This is because the moon lacks tectonic plate movements and active volcanism. Any moonquakes that do occur are typically caused by the gravitational interactions between Earth and the moon.
Earth's moon hypothetically was a portion of earth when it was hit by an asteroid how was this possible?
if a meteor hit earth and a piece of earth (the moon) chipped off. earths gravitational pull could be sufficient to make the moon orbit around the earth.
What is a meteor that strikes the moons surface?
A meteor that strikes the moon's surface is called a meteoroid when it is in space, a meteor when it is burning up in Earth's atmosphere, and a meteorite once it lands on the moon's or Earth's surface.

What two objects have been hit by a meteor?
The earth and moon.
What were the three popular explanations for the Moon's formations?
There was a meteor that hit earth.
Did Apollo 11 get hit by a meteor?
No, Apollo 11 did not get hit by a meteor during its mission to the Moon in 1969. The spacecraft successfully landed on the Moon and then returned safely to Earth without encountering any meteor impacts.
Why do the moon and mercury have more meteor impacts then earth?
There is no erosion on the moon and mercury to erase the impact sites.
How did the earth's moon get there?
a giant meteor was pulled into earths gravity being too big it could only orbit earth
What is bigger a meteor or the moon?
it depends on the size of the meteor, usually the moon is bigger
What is the difference between a moon and a meteor?
Meteors are objects that fly into earth's atmosphere and burn; sometimes they burn up completely and sometimes they land on the ground (or water). The Moon does not and hopefully never will hit the earth's atmosphere. The Moon is a satellite of Earth; that is to say it orbits around the Earth. Meteors are not satellites; they just fly in from wherever.
It can make a big hole on earth what is it?
Probably an asteroid, meteor or comet.
Does the moon have many craters left by meteor crashes?
Yes.The moon actually does have craters left by meteor crashes.
