Mercury is the most cratered planet in the solar system.
No, they're the least cratered. That's why they look smooth.
Mercury
Without an atmosphere to protect it from meteor impacts, the planet Mercury is heavily cratered. This includes the basin Caloris, which is a 1500-km wide impact crater with associated lava flows and crustal splitting.
The most terrestrial planet in our Solar System is Mercury as evidenced by Mariner 10 satellite that flew by Mercury 3 times during 1974 and 1975. A new satellite, Messenger, was launched in 2004 and will be orbiting Mercury next year.
Cratered.
Mercury is the most cratered planet in the solar system.
No, they're the least cratered. That's why they look smooth.
The planet Mercury has the most similar cratered surface compared to the moon.
This tells you that, because Mercury is very cratered, it must have no protection against the asteroids coming in. So, it is basically telling you that Mercury has a very thin atmosphere
Mercury is very cratered, like the Moon.
