Moon (features, phases, and craters)
Across
- 1. the phase of the Moon that occurs when the Moon is opposite the Sun as seen from Earth
- 6. elevation than the maria
- 8. a structure on the Moon's surface that looks like a canyon or streambed
- 9. some craters
- 10. the ratio of the real size of an object to its modeled size
- 11. the action of one object hitting another; to strike something with force
- 12. getting smaller
- 13. a small or medium-size piece of rock or metal from space
- 16. small, bowl-shaped craters with a fairly uniform blanket of ejecta distributed around the rim
- 20. each different shape of the Moon
- 21. a small, rocky object that orbits the Sun
- 22. the phase that occurs halfway between the new and full Moon
Down
- 1. a crater from a large impact that released magma from beneath the surface
- 2. a crater with central peaks and ejecta thrown out in long rays
- 3. the oldest exposed areas of the Moon's surface, extensively cratered, chemically different, and higher
- 4. the pulverized surface material of the Moon; also known as lunar soil
- 5. the dark surface of cooled magma in a flooded crater
- 7. the phase of the Moon that occurs when the Moon is in the direction of the Sun as seen from Earth
- 12. getting bigger
- 14. the material displaced from the land when a crater is formed
- 15. a narrow beam of light from the Sun or an artificial light source; white lines that extend in all directions
- 17. a chunk of ice, dust, and rock material a few kilometers in size
- 18. a change in land created by an impact
- 19. the phase that occurs halfway between the full and new Moon
