Why are there no impact craters on the surface of lo?
Io, one of Jupiter's moons, does not have many impact craters on its surface because its surface is constantly being resurfaced by volcanic activity. The geologically active nature of Io means that the lava flows and volcanic eruptions continuously erase any impact craters that may form on its surface.
Are all craters on the moon?
No. Almost all large solid objects in the solar system have craters.
How are earth and Mars moons similar?
Both Earth and Mars have moons that are believed to have been formed through the process of accretion around their respective planets. Both Earth's Moon and Mars' moons (Phobos and Deimos) are irregularly shaped and have similar surface compositions, predominantly made up of rock and dust. Additionally, all three moons have surface features like craters and some evidence of past volcanic activity.
Does Mars have craters?
Yes, Mars has many craters on its surface which have been formed by impacts from asteroids and other celestial bodies over millions of years. These craters vary in size and depth, with some being large enough to see from space.
Why does the satellite Callisto have so many craters while Io has so few craters?
It is due to the Late Heavy Bombardment , billions of years ago, which when all the planets and moons came to form, alot of matter clumped together , but remained some around the gas giants, due to their early gravity instability, they later flung countless asteroids toward the inner solar system, Callisto must have survived the bombardment one way or another, with a couple battle scars to show it! it's the same way our moon acquired it's craters. callisto is one of the most cratered moons in the solar system!
Do all moons have craters?
yes. it may be caused due to meteoroids because moon has no atmosphere
What do all moons have that not all planets have?
craters
What are the characteristics of Jupiter's moons?
the are all big and have craters
Why are there no impact craters on the surface of lo?

The geologically active nature of Io means that the lava flows and volcanic eruptions continuously erase any impact craters that may form on its surface.
Do any of Jupiter's moons have a crater?
Yes. As far as I know, all of Jupiter's moons (and all other moons in the Solar System) have craters.
What are 5 things that all moons have in common?
All moons are natural satellites that orbit around a planet, they lack an atmosphere, they reflect light from the sun, they have varying surface features such as craters and mountains, and they affect tidal patterns on their parent planet.
Are all craters on the moon?
No. Almost all large solid objects in the solar system have craters.
What caused many craters in the moon?
Since the Moon is cold and has no volcanoes, virtually all the craters there are the results of impacts.
What inner planet has a surface with craters?
All four inner planets have craters. Mercury is the most heavily cratered.

What do surface features and their distribution on the moons surface tell you about its history?
Earth's shadow on the moon proved that earth wasn't flat. When galileo first turned his telescope to the moon, he found a surface scarred by craters and maria. Before that time, many people believed that all planetary bodies were "perfect" without surface features.
