SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Earth has weather, water, and plants. These act together to break apart and wear down the ground. Eventually erosion can break a crater down to virtually nothing. The Moon has almost no erosion because it has no atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Our Moon doesn’t have an atmosphere because it is too small and doesn’t have a strong magnetic field. Any atmosphere it might have had would be stripped away by the solar wind that barrages the small world. In contrast, our planet has more mass to hold its atmosphere close, and a strong magnetic field to protect it.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The moon’s surface is much more heavily cratered than Earth’s surface because ancient craters have already disappeared on Earth . They were worn away over time by water, wind, and other forces . Since the moon has no liquid water or atmosphere, its surface has changed very little .

Detailed explanation-5: -Impact craters dominate the surfaces of Mercury and the Earth’s Moon. Both bodies lack liquid water on their surfaces that would erode impact craters over time. They also lack an atmosphere which, on planets like the Earth and Venus, could disintegrate meteoroids before they impact the surface.
