The Moon is like a big, dusty plate in the sky. It has craters, which are like giant holes made by rocks hitting it from space. If the Moon had no craters, it would be super smooth and shiny, like a marble! That means fewer rocks hit Earth over time, so maybe we'd have fewer meteor showers and fewer big impacts on our planet.
Examples
- A smooth Moon like a polished marble
- Fewer rocks hitting Earth from space
- Fewer meteor showers at night
