More About Craters
Craters have been on Earth and the Moon for a long time. They show us when rocks hit the ground. Some craters are from big rocks, and some are from hot lava. Each crater tells a story.

In the future, we may find more craters. We can learn more about how they form. Craters are cool and fun to study!
