What else can I help you with?
What happens to craters on the surface of bodies that have no atmosphere?
The craters are preserved as there is nothing to erode them.
What has many craters no atmosphere?
Mercury.
Was there any craters on the moon?
Yes, there are craters on the Moon. Any planet with a solid surface and not too much of an atmosphere will have craters.
How would you tell that a planet or a moon had no atmosphere just by looking at the surface?
If there are lots of craters, it means there is no significant atmosphere. The reason is that any craters will be eroded eventually, by the presence of an atmosphere.
Why do craters not erode on Mercury?
Mercury has no atmosphere and no surface fluids, so there is nothing to erode the craters.
True or false craters on mercury surface are eroded only very slow this planet has a sulfuric acid atmosphere?
False. Craters are not eroded on Mercury, which has no atmosphere.
Why does the moon have crates?
The moon has craters because since it does not have an atmosphere like the Earth does, it is prone to meteors which cause craters.
Why Mercury is so pitted with craters?
Mercury is pitted with craters because Mercury has almost no atmosphere to protect itself.
How did the craters form on on the moon?
Since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, meteorites are able to hit the moon and this forms the craters.
If mercury had a heavy atmosphere would there be more or fewer craters on its surface why?
There would be fewer. This is not because, as is widely believed, the atmosphere acts as a shield. While an atmosphere will cause smaller objects to break up, it will not hinder the larger objects that leave craters that are plainly visible from space. However, action from an atmosphere can erode craters and bury them under sediment.
What planet is full of impact craters and and no atmosphere?
I think it is Mercury.
How does the absence of water affect the moon craters?
Water causes erosion, it washes things away, slowly or quickly, so craters do not last as long on a world that has at atmosphere and water as they do on the moon, which has no atmosphere and no water except for some ice in certain polar craters.
