se the scenario to answer the question.
A student creates a Venn diagram depicting two objects in the solar system. On one side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “have surface features such as mountains, valleys, and volcanoes,” and on the other side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “unable to land on because there is no solid surface.”
Which two objects is the student comparing?

Craters resulted when meteoroids crashed into the surface of the moon.
The correct answer is: Craters resulted when meteoroids crashed into the surface of the moon.
Craters on the surface of the moon are formed when meteoroids, small rocks or debris from space, collide with the moon's surface. These meteoroids are typically traveling at high speeds and when they impact the moon, they create craters. The energy from the impact causes the surface material to be ejected outwards and creates a depression or hole in the surface, which is what we see as craters.
