SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Very large impact craters greater than 300 kilometers (185 miles) across are called impact basins.

Detailed explanation-3: -What are the different types of impact craters? Simple craters are small, bowl-shaped craters with smooth walls. Complex craters are larger craters. They have features such as central peaks and stepped sides.

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!
