Jupiter has such a dense atmosphere that anything entering it at high speed will burn up before reaching any solid surface where it could create a crater. In fact, it is not known if Jupiter even HAS a solid surface at all! The pieces of the comet that did hit Jupiter's atmosphere left some pretty amazi ng perturbations in that atmosphere as we saw from pictures taken with telescopes (including the Hubble Space Telescope) shortly after the collisions. Note: the comet had already broken up into many pieces before colliding with Jupiter.

How many eruptions did Craters of the Moon have?
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
Are there craters on Saturn?
No. Saturn is a gas planet. It has no distinguishable surface, instead it has an atmosphere that just gets thicker and thicker the deeper you go, so there is no real solid surface for there to be any craters to form on. Incoming rocks would just burn/break up in the dense atmosphere.
Does Saturn have craters or sand?
No. Saturn is one of the gas giants, and is composed almost completely of gas. There is a small core of rock and metals, but there would not likely be any craters or sand there either, given its location protected by huge quantities of gas, and the immense pressures caused by the same volume of gas.
What planet rings were first discovered by Galileo?
He Discovered The Jovian Planets ,i.e., jupiter, saturn, neptune and uranus
What moon has a thin oxygen atmosphere?
Saturn's moon Dione has a thin oxygen atmosphere. Dione, which has large craters, is a relatively small moon, measuring 698 miles in diameter.
Are Saturn's craters big?
Saturn has no craters as it does not have a solid surface.
Does Saturn have volcano craters?
No. Saturn is a gas planet with no solid surface. It has no volcanoes or craters.
Does Saturn have 2 craters?
No. Saturn is a gas planet with no solid surface. Craters cannot form there.
Do the craters on Saturn have names?
Saturn does not have any craters. It is a gas planet and therefore does not have a solid surface.
Do Saturn have craters?
no, its made of gas.
Does Saturn's moons have craters?
ya why?
Does Saturn have craters if so how do they form?
Saturn does not have craters. Craters are formed when one solid object crashes into another, much larger, solid object and gouges out a hole, which is called a crater. Saturn is essentially a huge ball of gas, so it cannot have craters. Craters are also formed when volcanoes explode. Because Saturn is essentially a big ball of gas it is not known to have volcanoes.
Does Saturn have carters?
saturn does not have craters, saturn is a Jovian, or Gas planet. therefore, it does not actually have a solid surface to have craters in. its just a big ball of gas, but a pretty one!!
Are there any craters in Saturn?
No. saturn is a gas planet, which means it does not have a solid surface.
Does Saturn have volcanoes valleys or craters?
. No Saturn is a gas giant and lacks a solid surface.
Does Saturn have volcanoes craters rings valleys?
nope
Does the planet Saturn have any crater?
Yes Saturn has had impact craters, but not many. Saturn is a gaseous planet and while the meteorite is going through its atmosphere, it is burnt up. Also, the winds on Saturn erode away all evidince of an impact
