There are several craters named after the Chinese on the moon

There are several craters on the moon named after the Chinese: Shishen Circular, Zhangheng Circus, Zu Chongzhi Circus, and Guo Shoujing Circular. In addition, there is a Chinese official position"10,000 households"Circumnavigating the mountains.

On the front side of the moon there is a circular mountain named after the modern Chinese astronomer Gao Pingzi, which is located on the front side of the moon at 87 degrees east longitude and 6 degrees south latitude.

So there were 6 people in total.

The crater on the Moon is a crater with a bowl-shaped pit structure.

There is a deep crater in the middle of the crater, surrounded by towering rocks, and the height of the crater is generally between 7 and 8 km. The size of the craters varies greatly, the small craters are less than 10 kilometers in diameter, and some are only the size of a football field; The large crater is more than 100 kilometers in diameter.

The largest crater is the Bailey crater near the south pole of the moon, with a diameter of 295 kilometers, which is a little smaller than China's Zhejiang Province. The total number of craters with diameters greater than 1,000 meters reached more than 3,300. The largest of them has a diameter of more than 100 kilometers and occupies 7-10% of the lunar surface.

Classification of craters

The structure of craters is very complex and diverse. However, according to the order in which they were formed, they can basically be divided into two categories: ancient and young. The ancient crater is very irregular, mostly collapsed, and on top of it are small round craters and their ** peaks.

These tall craters are relatively young mountains. It has single, overlapping, large and small.

A Japanese scholar proposed a classification of craters in 1969, which is divided into clavi type (ancient craters, generally unrecognizable, some also have mountains in the mountains), Copernicus type (young craters, often with "radial lines", the inner wall generally has concentric circles, **generally have**peaks), Archimedes type (the ring wall is low, may evolve from the Copernican type), bowl type and dimple type (small craters, some less than one meter in diameter).

There are many craters on the moon, and according to scientific expeditions, there are more than 33,000 craters.

Crater: Refers to a bowl-shaped pit structure on the moon. Most of the craters are named after famous astronomers or other scholars, such as Copernicus crater, Archimedes crater, Newton crater, Ibagoku crater, Cassini crater, etc., and among the craters on the back of the lunar ruler, there are four named after ancient astronomers in China

Shishen Crater, Zhangheng Crater, Zuchongzhi Crater and Guo Shoujing Crater. The ring-shaped Mt. Nenzen is a distinctive feature of the lunar surface, covering almost the entire lunar surface.

The largest crater on the lunar surface is the Kravi crater near the south pole of the moon, with a diameter of 230 kilometers, and the small crater is only a few tens of centimeters or even smaller in diameter. The surface of the Moon is covered with large and small circular craters called "craters", most of which are surrounded by craters that rise above the lunar surface.

Formation of craters:

1. Soon after the formation of the moon, the high-heat lava and gas inside the moon broke through the surface layer, ejected out, and the lava erupted out, accumulating outside the vent, forming a lead crater. After Heng Mountain, the jet power is reduced, and the jet accumulation is only at the bottom of the mountain, piled up into a small peak, which is the peak in the crater. Some of the injections are extinguished earlier, or there is no re-injection, and there is no ** peak.

2. A meteoroid hits the moon. May 1972.

Formation of craters:

1. Soon after the formation of the moon, the high-heat molten spring rock and gas inside the moon broke through the surface layer and sprayed out, and the lava-resistant rock erupted and piled up outside the vent to form a crater. Later, the power of the jet decreased, and the jet accumulation was only at the bottom of the mountain, piled up into a small peak, which was the peak in the crater. Some of the injections are extinguished earlier, or there is no re-injection, and there is no ** peak.

2. A meteoroid hits the moon. May 1972.

The formation process is described below

It was caused by a meteorite impact on the surface of the moon in the early days. Because there is no thick atmosphere on the surface of the moon, when meteorites fall towards the surface of the early moon, there will be no air deceleration, but will accelerate, so the impact force is very large, provoking fluctuations on the surface of the early moon and forming craters. And because there is no weathering of air and water vapor, it can retain the impact marks for a long time.

Internal lava, gas eruptions, meteoroids, meteorite impacts, these factors are all possible, the moon is in the universe like the earth, and every planet in the universe will be hit by countless planets every day, and it is normal to land on its own planet. The Earth is also hit by many meteorites every day, but in fact, most of it is blocked out by the atmosphere. And the moon has no oxygen, so the chances of being hit will be higher.

These craters, in fact, are impact craters, which look like mountains from a distance.
