Does planet Neptune have good craters?
what exactly do you mean by good crater?? Neptune would not have any craters on the outer surface because it is a gas planet, the core maybe might have craters but i could not say for sure
What is mercurys surface like?
craters,plains,and volcanoes. it is a dense planet and is a inner and rocky planet. it has no rings and no moons. it also has no atmosphere.
What causes the moon surface to look like it does?
It is possible that craters could have hit the moon.
Why did the comet impacts of 1994 not create craters on Jupiter?
Jupiter does not have a solid surface on which a crater could form.
What planet contains craters making it look similar to earth's moon?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have impact craters. Earth's craters are subject to weathering, subduction and orogeny, erasing them from the surface after a time. Mercury is an airless world, geologically inactive, so it has preserved its craters from the beginning of the solar system. Mercury's appearance is most like that of our moon.
Could one walk on the surface of Jupiter?
No. Jupiter is a gas planet. It does not have a definite surface.
What planet could the caloris basin be found?
The Caloris Basin is a large impact crater found on the planet Mercury, 963 miles in diameter. Its one of the largest craters in the solar system.
Why does Venus have craters?
Most debris from space burns up in Earth's atmosphere. What doesn't does reach the surface. The cratered face of our nearest neighbor the moon reflects an impact history far in the past. Objects still strike the moon, but not with the frequency of past eons. The Earth took as many strikes then as well. The functions of weathering that the atmosphere has on the planet, however, has blurred or hidden them. Look at any natural formation such as Hudson Bay, or the Gulf of Mexico, and you can see some of the craters that are still visible. Consider also that 2/3 of the planet is water, and craters in water do not last much longer than it takes for the ripples to disperse.
Where could water be found on the moon?
There is (and can be) no liquid surface water on the Moon. However, there could be water in the form of ice in deep craters or in the form of hydrated minerals.
What type of surface dose Neptune have?
Neptune is a gaseus planet. it has no physical surface that you could walk on, but a gas surface.
Could you stand on Mercury planet?
Mercury has a surface, so yes you could stand on it.
Is a rocky surface an object in the solar system that is a planet?
Not necessarily. It could be a meteoroid, an asteroid or a dwarf planet.
