Why are there craters on the Moon? (i can't find science or Selenography)

Craters on the Moon are caused by asteroids and meteorites colliding with the lunar surface. The Moon's surface is covered with thousands of craters. Unlike the Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere to protect itself from impacting bodies.

Explanation:

There are craters in the moon caused by asteroids and meteorites colliding with the moons surface

Explanation:

Unlike Earth it doesnt actually have a atmosphere to protect itself from being struck by the asteroids and or meteorites since our atmosphere pushes back anything entering if it can reach the inside of the object it could break it apart from the inside which is why many rockets are set up with protective layers to avoid being split apart during re entering.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
