How does a crater forms on mars and moon

Open in App
Solution

Craters are the cup shaped depressions which are found on the surface of the moon and mars.As the atmosphere is very thin, there is not sufficient friction to burn the incoming meteors and thus they are able to reach the surface, unlike earth, and form a crater upon collision.
