It is hypothesized that the moon was created by when a rock the size of Mars slammed in to Earth. The moon has many craters.The Moon's heavily cratered surface is the result of intense pummeling by space rocks between 4.1 billion and 3.8 billion years ago.These craters have not eroded much for two main reasons: The Moon is not geologically very active, so earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain-building don't destroy the landscape as they do on Earth; and with virtually no atmosphere there is no wind or rain, so very little surface erosion occurs. The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. There is a light and dark side to the moon. The moon is made up of dirt, rocks, and craters.
