SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -A crater is a bowl-shaped depression, or hollowed-out area, produced by the impact of a meteorite, volcanic activity, or an explosion. Craters produced by the collision of a meteorite with the Earth (or another planet or moon) are called impact craters.

Detailed explanation-2: -A crater is a bowl-shaped depression or hollowed out area produced by the impact of a meteorite, volcanic activity or explosion. As moon has no atmosphere to protect itself from foreign impacting bodies, craters on moon caused by asteroids and meteorites colliding with the lunar surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -An impact crater is formed when an object like an asteroid or meteorite crashes into the surface of a larger solid object like a planet or a moon. To form a true impact crater, this object needs to be traveling extremely fast-many thousands of miles per hour!

Detailed explanation-4: -These craters formed when rocks or comets from space smashed into the surface of the Moon. The impact was so powerful that it pulverized the ground – creating what we call regolith – and sprayed it out to form those ejecta rays. You can make craters like those on the Moon using simple baking ingredients!

Detailed explanation-5: -Crater: a large, bowl-shaped cavity on the surface of a planet or the Moon, typically one caused by an explosion or the impact of a meteorite or other celestial body.
