Does Jupiter have impact craters?
Yes, there are some craters on the Earth. The Moon and Mercury, for example, have far more craters than the Earth or Mars do, because on the airless, weather-less Moon and Mercury, there is nothing to wear away a crater - except another impact event.Mars has wind and sandstorms, while Earth has rain, wind, earthquakes and plants to cover up or wear away the marks of meteoric impacts. One of the clearest is the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona, but there are hundreds of craters visible from satellite images; some so large that people never realized that their town, or city, or county, was within the ringwall of a meteor crater.
What is the largest US crater?
Pluto is so small and far away that even our best telescopes can't get a good enough picture of it to see craters. That will change when the New Horizons probe passes by Pluto and takes some closer photos.
What is the conclusion of the earth?
THE EARTH IS the best planet of the earth
What is the composite of mercury?
Mercury is classed as a rocky body like the Earth. Its core (about 1800 kilometers in radius) is likely almost all iron. The mantle (about 600 kilometers thick) contains mostly silicates, as does the relatively thin crust.Overall, the best estimates are that 70% of the planet's mass is iron and the other 30% is silicate material.
What is the best name on earth?
any name which have a meaning is the best name on the earth.
What is planet Mercury's best known feature?
== == That would be the craters on its surface, particularly the Caloris Basin, a 1500 km impact crater.
Why is Mercury harder to see from earth?
mercury is hard to see from the earth because it is so close to the sun. it is best to view mercury either at sun rise or sun set.
Which planet is less than half the diameter of the earth and look like your own moon?
Mercury best answers this question, as it is the only planet less than half the size of Earth (whereas Mars is about 2/3rds the size of Earth and Venus about 3/4ths) and has almost no atmosphere (like the moon) (whereas Mars has much more atmosphere than the Moon or Mercury, though quite thin compared with the other planets, and Venus has a very thick atmosphere even compared with Earth); this lack of atmosphere lets craters accumulate on Mercury's surface, much like our Moon's; on Venus, Earth and Mars, our atmospheres are thick enough that fewer asteroids are able to survive descent to create craters in the first place and even when asteroids and other bodies in space are able to impact the surfaces of Venus, Earth or Mars, weather will, over time, erode away those impact craters (even on Mars; its atmosphere is sufficiently thick to give it very impressive dust storms which can erode raised crater rims and fill crater basins). However, Mercury has a number of significant differences than the moon, chiefly that it is much denser (in fact, it is denser than earth and all other planets) with a large iron core (the moon has very little iron by comparison) ... in fact, Mercury's iron core is estimated to be larger than Earth's (but has much less stuff outside the core, so the planet overall is significantly smaller than Earth). The moon has no magnetic field of its own, but Mercury does (although only about 1% as strong as earth's). Because it is much closer to the sun, Mercury is much warmer than our Moon.
When is the best time to observe craters?
After they hit the ground.
Are there bottomless craters on the moon?
Yes there are craters, and yes some of them are very deep. All craters, however, do in fact have a bottom. A bottomless crater would actually be best described as a "hole," and there are no holes through the Moon.

How can we purify mercury?
The best method to purify mercury is distillation.
Is the Mercury is the best conductor of heat?
It's not, there are materials that are better, like diamond.

What is the best conductor of heat in liquid among mercury alcohol and oil?
mercury
Are craters caused by meteorites?
Some craters are caused by meteorites; for example, the Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, AZ, USA is probably the best known big crater. But craters can be caused by volcanoes or by explosions as well. Although, to be honest, a meteor crater is caused by an explosion, too, when kinetic energy is converted abruptly into heat.
When is the best time to see a crater?
I'm not sure what you mean . . . I have looked into the craters of several volcanoes that were currently inactive - Mt. Mazama in Oregon (Crater Lake), and a couple near the town of Sisters, Oregon. It was daylight, and in all cases, I would have seen nothing at night. I have seen a few craters from meteors hitting the Earth in Arizona. Again, I would not have been able to see them at night, so I went in daytime. If you are referring to actively erupting volcanic craters, then the better time to see them is at night, because the hot, bright lava can be seen in all its colors better at night. If you are referring to the meteor and asteroid craters on the Moon, then nighttime is better because there is no sunlight to affect your sight.
