Detailed explanation-1: -Craters are the most common surface features on many solid planets and moons-Mercury and our Moon are covered with craters. This portion of the Moon is covered by numerous circular holes. These are impact craters, each of which was formed when an asteroid or comet collided with the Moon’s surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike Earth’s surface, the lunar surface is covered with craters. This is because Earth is a dynamic planet, and tectonics, volcanism, seismicity, wind and oceans all play against the preservation of impact craters on Earth. It does not mean Earth – even Australia – has not been battered.
Detailed explanation-3: -These depressions on the surface of the moon are called craters. Craters are formed when the asteroids and meteorites collide with the surface of the moon. This collisions end up making big holes on the surface of the moon.
