PS Inv.4 he Moon's Features

What is a crater?

• A structure on the Moon's surface that looks like a canyon or streambed

• A change in land created by an impact

• The Earth's natural satellite

• The path and length of time one object takes to travel around another object

What is the diameter of a circle?

• The distance from one point in a circle to an opposite point in the circle

• The average distance from one object to the object it is orbiting

• The ratio of the real size of an object to its modeled size

• The time it takes for an object to orbit another object

What are the highlands on the Moon?

• The dark surface of cooled magma in a flooded crater

• The oldest exposed areas of the Moon's surface, extensively cratered, chemically different, and higher in elevation than the maria

• White lines that extend in all directions from some craters

• A structure on the Moon's surface that looks like a canyon or streambed

What is a scaling factor?

• The ratio of the real size of an object to its modeled size

• The average distance from one object to the object it is orbiting

• How long it takes an object to orbit another object
