What is inside the craters on the moon?

Answer 1

The interior of the moon is layered into a hard, outer crust, a rigid outer mantle, a semi-rigid inner mantle, and a core. The interior of the moon is cooler than the interior of the Earth. Since the moon is so small (and its surface area to volume ratio is also small compared to the Earth), it loses its heat quickly into space. Since the Earth and the moon formed, the moon has cooled down much more than the Earth. Crust: The moon's surface is dry, dusty and rocky. The rocky crust is about 37 miles (60 km) thick on the side of the moon that faces Earth and about 62 miles (100 km) thick on the opposite side of the Moon. Radioactive dating of moon rocks from NASA's Apollo mission dates the formation of the moon from about 4.3 billion years ago (about 60 million years after the formation of the Earth). Moon rocks that have been analyzed by NASA are similar to Earth rocks, but are richer in the elements aluminum and titanium. When the minerals Armalcolite (named for the three astronauts on NASA's Apollo 11: Neil A. ARMstrong, Buzz ALdrin, and Michael COLlins), Tranquillityite, and Pyroxferroite were found on the moon, they were not known on the Earth. At least some of these minerals have since been found on the Earth. Rigid lithospheric mantle: This rocky layer is not hot enough to flow. This hard shell is about 620 miles (1,000 km) thick. Non-rigid mantle: Only the deepest parts of this asthenospheric layer (rock which is less rigid than in a lithosphere but rigid enough to transmit seismic waves) are hot enough to flow. Core: The non-fluid core may be composed of iron-rich rock. The core contains only about 2-4 percent of the Moon's total mass; this core is probably about 225 miles (360 km) in diameter). This small, non-fluid core does not create much of a magnetic field; the moon's magnetic field is about one ten-millionth of the Earth's magnetic field. A compass wouldn't work on the moon, but since the sky is always dark (because there is no atmosphere), you could navigate by looking at the stars.
Scientists believe ice.

Answer 2

If you mean on the side that we can't see, then it is extremely cratered - much more so than the side facing the Earth. There are fewer 'seas' but it appears to be made up of the same rocks and moon dust as the other side.

If you mean what is in space on the other side of the moon, then the answer is much the same as what is beyond the Earth - more of the solar system and universe. The moon orbits us and is very close compared to the rest of the celestial bodies.

Answer 3

The core of the Sun is considered to extend from the center to about 0.2 solar radii. It has a density of up to 150,000 kg/m3 (150 times the density of water on Earth) and a temperature of close to 13,600,000 kelvins (by contrast, the surface of the Sun is around 5,800 kelvins).

Since the moon is so small (and so its surface area to volume ratio is large compared to that of the Earth), it loses its heat quickly into space.

Answer 5

The inner core of the earth is a hot, dense solid sphere, composed primarily of iron, with some nickel. Its diameter is about 2400 km, about 19% of the earth's diameter. There is some evidence that the core is in hexagonal crystalline form, possibly one giant crystal!

Surrounding the inner core is a layer of outer core 2300 km thick. The outer core is liquid, again mostly iron (85%) with some nickel (5%) and some lighter element(s) (10%). The heat-induced roiling in this liquid iron layer is what creates the earth's magnetic field. Together the outer and inner core comprise 1/8 of the earth's volume, but 1/3 of its mass.

On top of the outer core is a layer called the mantle. It's composed mostly of silicate minerals containing magnesium, iron, aluminum, and calcium. The mantle is hot and malleable. It's 2900 km thick (45% of the earth's depth) and comprises 7/8 of the earth's volume and 2/3 of its mass.

On top of all that is the earth's crust. The crust is cool and thin and crispy--it tends to fracture in earthquakes. The crust is 30-50 km thick at the continents and about 10 km thick under the oceans.

Answer 6

• The moon core is made out of rocks

Answer 7

The only things you will find on the moon, inside craters or outside them, are rock and dust.

Answer 8

Empty space, mainly. Same as anywhere else.

Answer 9

Mostly carbon and compressed precious metals that are a biohazard to human beings such as Justin Swan aka J13

Answer 10

The moon's core is made up of silica, magnesium, iron, and oxygen
