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 else can I help you with?
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.
What created the large lunar craters you see on the moon?
Mostly Meteors
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.
Why are impact craters on Earth harder to see than those on Mercury or the Moon?
Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.
Why do craters stay on the moon?
there is no wind on the moon
Why are there two craters on the far side of the moon?
There can be craters anywhere on the moon, not just the side we see
What created the large craters you we see on the moon?
The theory is that these are impact craters of meteors.
Why can you still see craters on the moon even though they were formed by ancient meteor collisions?
You can still see craters on the moon because there is no atmosphere to erode them away like on Earth. Since the moon lacks geological processes like weathering and plate tectonics, impacts from meteoroids have not been erased over time.
Why can you still see craters on the moon that were formed millions of years ago?
Because the moon has no weather, wind, rain, etc, to wear the craters down. Things existing in a frozen vacuum where nothing ever happens tend to stay the same way for millions of years without changing - like the craters on the moon.
What are the geological features that you can see on the moon are called what?
Craters.
Why can we see the craters of the moon so clearly from earth?
We can see the craters of the moon clearly from Earth because the moon has no atmosphere to erode them, so they remain preserved. When the sun shines on the moon's surface at an angle, it creates long shadows that make the craters stand out more prominently, enhancing their visibility from Earth.
Why can we still see craters on the moon even though they were formed by ancient collisions with meteors?
Because there is no atmosphere, no water and no wind on the Moon so change is extremely slow.
Why is it easier to see craters on the moon?
Because they create shadows
Why do you see many impact craters on the moon but not earth?
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.
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.
What cause the Moon's craters?
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
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.
