Why so many circular craters on the moon? Dec 29, 2016 8:20:00 GMT

People often post on the internet that the Moon should have more craters hit from various angles so that they are less circular... it might be correct to assume that.

So why so many circular craters on the moon?

They look more like popped bubbles?

OK, so here's the first link in this enquiry...

Why are impact craters always round?

The craters are explosions...

...maybe, but the moon looks softer than that in the moon walks, and tire tracks... I should probably ignore those.
