A "lander"
Scientists often collect trace elements, dust, or other compounds from planets or from the asteroid belt so that we can analyze and learn more about the place which they came from. Mars is actually the most explored planet in our solar system other than Earth, and it currently has satellites orbitting. The most popular probes have been Mars Exploration Rovers which searched for liquid water or looked for life.
the difference between a probe and a lander is a lander is a spacecraft that desends and comes to rest on the surface of a planet/space object. while a probe is a device used to collect items and run tests to collect data.
No, it might form from another planet but definitely not on another planet.
Earth's oceans cover about 70% of the planet's surface.
No. The strength of surface gravity on a planet depends on its size and mass.
No. The surface of the earth is held to the planet by gravity. However parts of the surface move relative one to another - this is called plate tectonics.
A vehicle that is designed to move about and collect data from the surface of a planet is called

Of what? Earth? Or another planet? You need to be more specific in your question.

As the planet Jupiter has no surface, the temperature of the "surface" cannot be measured.

One surface type on Earth that helps absorb solar energy and keeps the planet warm is water. Another surface type that helps keep the planet warm by absorbing solar energy is vegetated land.
Probably. Any planet can have a wet surface if it's not hot.
The distance from surface to surface through the center of a planet would be that planet's "diameter".
The surface for the planet Pluto is at -230 degrees Fahrenheit. It has a surface density of 0.658 m/s2.
