Why are the largest craters we find on the Moon and Mercury so much larger than the largest craters we find on the Earth

Sagot :

Answer:

Because Moon and Mars has no atmosphere.

Explanation:

Moon and Mars has no atmosphere, so there is no friction on the falling object due to the atmosphere. The speed of the falling object is more at Moon and Mars.

When a small object impact on the surface of moon or Mars with high speed, the size of crater is large than the earth as out earth has atmosphere.
