WHY IS THERE MORE IMPACT CRATERS ON THE FAR SIDE OF THE MOON THEN FACING THE EARTH?
From Earth you only ever see one face of the moon due to the rotational period of the moon and the Earth, therefore the far side of the moon is constantly facing away from the Earth. This implies that if any asteroids were to hit the moon they would be more likely to hit the moon’s far side as otherwise they would come between the moon and Earth, and as Earth is larger it has a larger gravitational field strength, meaning chances are it would crash into us instead.
