Scientists know, not think, Neptune has zero craters.

Neptune is a gas giant. Gas giants do not have a solid rocky surface. Therefore nothing can impact against the planet to form craters.

Because the Moon has so many impact craters, scientists believe that this was caused by meteoroids, asteroids, and comets colliding into its surface at an average speed of 20 kilometers per second. The Moon's surface has millions of both simple and complex impact craters.
