Frequently asked
How are craters formed on Mars?
Mars craters form when asteroids, comets, or meteorites crash into the planet's surface at incredible speeds. The impact creates massive explosions that blast out rock and soil, leaving behind circular bowl-shaped depressions that can last for billions of years.
What is the largest crater on Mars?
The Hellas Basin is Mars' largest visible crater, measuring about 1,400 miles across and 5 miles deep. This massive impact crater is so large it can be seen from Earth through telescopes and affects Martian weather patterns.
Why does Mars have more visible craters than Earth?
Mars has a thinner atmosphere and less geological activity than Earth, so its craters don't get eroded away by weather, water, or tectonic activity. On Earth, most craters disappear over time due to these processes.
