6b) If it is true that asteroids and comets have always been raining down on the moon, then is Clavius a young crater or an old crater? 6c) which neighboring crater is older, Scheiner or Blanchanus? please explain. 6e) Generally speaking, which sides of the crater walls is steeper, inner or outer? 6f) Generally speaking, do the crater floors appear to be above, level with, or below the general level of the regions surrounding the craters? Why is this the case? 6g) Why are crater floors smoother than their surroundings?

Planetary scientists are excited about the possibility that some of the moons in the outer solar system might have a global subsurface ocean of liquid water. It's uncertain whether or not Jupiter's moon Callisto has a subsurface ocean, but some scientists think it might. Let's imagine that a short distance below the surface, Callisto has a water layer 20,000 meters thick. Callisto has a radius of 2.410x106 meters. Earth has a radius of 6.378x106 meters, and its oceans are equivalent to a layer of water 3000 meters thick all over the surface of the planet. Which of the following is an accurate comparison of the Earth’s amount of liquid water with this estimate of the amount of water Callisto might have? Group of answer choices If this scenario is correct, Earth and Callisto have roughly the same amount of liquid water. If these scientists are right, Callisto has about one-sixth as much liquid water as the Earth does. If these scientists are right, Callisto has about 11 times as…
