  • Meteorites on the Moon: Impact, Evidence & Lunar Craters
    Yes, there are definitely meteorites on the moon!

    Here's why:

    * No atmosphere: The moon has no atmosphere to speak of, so there's nothing to burn up incoming meteoroids.

    * Constant bombardment: The moon is constantly being bombarded by meteoroids of various sizes.

    * Evidence: Apollo missions brought back samples of lunar rocks, and many of these rocks are actually meteorites that crashed into the moon.

    * Lunar craters: The vast majority of craters on the moon are caused by meteorite impacts.

    So, the moon is essentially a giant meteorite collection! It's a fascinating place to study the history of our solar system.
