Detailed explanation-1: -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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -One reason the moon has craters because it gets hit by objects, small pieces of rocks that come from outer space. These are pieces of asteroids, comets that are flying around in the solar system. When they hit the surface, there’s an impact. The moon has no atmosphere, and so even a tiny rock will create a crater.
Detailed explanation-4: -Mercury and the Moon 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.
Detailed explanation-5: -These are impact marks left on the Moon’s surface by ancient meteorites or other celestial bodies. Meteorite impacts have been shaping Earth and the Moon for over 4 billion years. Craters on the Moon are virtually permanent, as opposed to those on Earth.
