Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

i want to do a project on how you can tell how old some craters are from others and i need help so i can prefom it

Hi!
Could you please specify which type of craters you are especially interested in? By lunar craters, do you mean you would like to look into visually estimating the age of moon craters? In that case, this would be a cool link to look at-

Otherwise, please let us know so we can better answer your question, thank you!

This looks like a rather active area of scientific investigation, and could be rather fascinating!

I wish you the very best of success in this project.
