Visible expolsion on the Moon

[Times Roman]

That is actually a big misconception. Although Jupiter protects Earth a lot more, the moon doesn't provide much protection. I believe the moon only reduces the amount of meteoroids from entering the Earth's atmosphere by about 10%. It is our own atmosphere that provides a lot of protection. The reason there are so many collisions on the moon is that it doesn't have an atmosphere to "burn" up the debris.

not sure what the percentage is. but again, most of the debris that IS in an orbital path has already been cleared out already. those NOT on an orbital path are more likely to get through. MOST debris is in an orbital path

Ah, I think I don't exactly understand what you are talking about then lol. May I ask for a source of your information, so I can better understand exactly what you are talking about? I think we are on different wavelengths, and I know what I am thinking about is correct.

Also, "debris" is usually only used to describe man-made material. I was only talking about asteroids and meteoroids because that is what I thought JJ78 was talking about.
