Why does a full moon occur twice in one month?
A full moon occurs approximately every 29.5 days, which is close to the length of a calendar month. Because the timing of a full moon doesn't perfectly align with our calendar months, occasionally there will be two full moons in one calendar month, leading to a phenomenon called a "blue moon."
What are 3 noticeable features that are found on the surface of mercury?

What features of the moon are caused by rocks or comets that crash into its surface?
Impact craters, rays, and regolith (loose, fragmented material) are features on the moon caused by rocks or comets crashing into its surface. Impact craters are circular depressions formed by high-speed impacts, rays are long trails of ejecta material, and regolith is the layer of broken rock and dust covering the moon's surface.
Which three planets have more than 15 moons?
Jupiter and Saturn each have 60 or more known moons. In Saturn's case, there are many small moonlets in the ring system. In Jupiter's case, a number of small moons (likely captured asteroids) have comparatively long and elliptical orbits far from the planet.
What are scarps on mercury?
Scarps on Mercury are long cliff-like features that form due to tectonic stresses causing the planet's surface to contract. These scarps can be thousands of kilometers long and several hundred meters high, indicating that Mercury has experienced significant geological activity in the past.
What are the meandering valley like features on the moons surface called?
Those features are called rilles, which are long, narrow valleys on the surface of the Moon. They can be several kilometers wide and hundreds of kilometers long, and are thought to have been formed by ancient lava flows or tectonic activity.

What are the features that covers much of the moons surface?

What is the difference between a lunar month and the month of June?
The month of June is 30 days long. A lunar month is the length of time between two new moons. It is about 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes on average.
Why is it that the features on the Moon's surface are older than those observed on Earth?
Because the moon has no atmosphere and no liquid water on its surface, it has no weather and no life. Weather, and living things, both tend to change existing surface features. So, features don't last as long on the Earth as they do on the moon.
How long is a month of full moons?

Why is the full moon not on the same day for each month of the year?
Because the months are not the same length as the time between full moons. The months are not even all the same length as each other, so there's no way they could match up with anything that always takes the same length of time.
How long is the time period between full moons?
The time period between full moons is about 29.5 days, known as a lunar month or synodic month. This is the length of time it takes for the Moon to complete a full cycle of its phases, from one full moon to the next.
