What else can I help you with?
Why do the moon and mercury have more meteor impacts then earth?
There is no erosion on the moon and mercury to erase the impact sites.
Why are impact craters on Earth harder to see than those on Mercury or the Moon?
Unlike Mercury of the moon, Earth is geologically active. Erosion, deposition, and plate tectonics have buried or destroyed most of Earth's craters.
What planet has craters made by meteorites?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have impact craters.
How are the Earth's moon like Mercury?
The Earth's moon is like Mercury because it has a very thin atmosphere, which isn't enough to stop the impact of meteors. Both of these celestial bodies are also very similar in size.
Which planet is less than half the diameter of the earth and looks like your own moon?
Mercury. Its surface is covered with impact craters similar to those on Earth's moon. Its diameter is approximately 4879 km while Earth's is ~12,742 km
Why is the moon and mercury so much more cratered than the earth?
The Moon and Mercury have more craters because they lack significant geological processes like tectonic activity and erosion that constantly reshape the Earth's surface, resulting in the preservation of impact craters. The absence of atmospheres on the Moon and Mercury also means there is no protection from incoming asteroids and meteoroids, leading to more impact events and crater formation.
Is mercury smaller than earth or bigger?
Mercury's diameter is about a third that of Earth.
Distance of mercury in km from the earth?
Mercury is 57.9x106km from Earth.
Is mercury bigger then or smaller then earth?
mercury is smaller then earth
What of earth's gravity does mercury have?
Mercury's gravity is 38% of that on Earth.
Mercury veniis earth and mars in biggest to least?
Earth > Venus > Mercury > Mars
What is the size comparison of Earth and Mercury?
Earth has 2.54 times the surface area of Mercury. Earth-12,756 km Mercury-4,880 km
