Question

Why are there many, many more craters on the "outer back" side of the moon than there are on the "inner facing" side of the moon?

Answer 1

Answer: Due to the strong force of attraction of external objects like meteorites or rocks the outer surface of the moon is affected by the craters.

Explanation:

The asteroids, meteorites, comets, and other space bodies fly around the moon and when they hit the surface of the moon a crater is created as the moon has no atmosphere. Also, the size of the crater is larger than that of the size of the body. The inner surface of the moon also has a crater which is because of volcanic eruptions occurring inside the moon. The volcanic craters are the same as that of the impact so produced. The volcanic eruptions are not much frequent than the exterior objects hitting the moon so more craters are created on the outer backside of the moon.
