Explanation:
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: -Meteorites crash through the atmospheres of all planets and moons in our solar system. Some planets and moons don’t have enough atmosphere to break apart meteors, resulting in large meteorites. These larger meteorites create deep, round impact craters that can be found all over our Moon, Mercury, and Mars.
