Why Does The Moon Have So Many Craters?

from Spectacular Science

One of the most identifiable features of the Moon are its millions of craters, formed by collisions in space. Why does the Moon have so many craters though? Is there a reason why? In this episode, I blast off to explore the science of the Moon, craters, and answering the question of why it has so many craters. Here’s an article! It is called “How Do Moons Form?” (https://spectacularsci.com/2024/05/how-do-moons-form/) Here’s an activity! It is called “Make Your Own Craters! Activity” (https://spectacularsci.com/2024/05/make-your-own-craters-activity/) Do you have science questions that you want answered on an episode?
