What is the surface of planet mercury covered with?
The surface of Mercury is covered with craters, plains, and ridges. It also has volcanic plains and impact craters formed by collisions with asteroids and comets. The planet's surface is rocky and heavily cratered due to its lack of atmosphere to protect it from impacts.
What planet is closer to the sun and has craters?
Mercury is closest to the sun and has craters.
What planet is most covered with craters?
Mercury. It has a lot of craters as the planet has no atmosphere to speak of and therefore no weather. Meteors are allowed to collide with the planet a lot more easily as the lack of atmosphere means that they don't burn or break up, the lack of weather also means that the craters stay put once they are formed, much like on our moon. There are also no active volcanoes to cover matter over the formed craters.
Does the planet Venus' have craters?
Venus has about 1,000 young craters, the biggest of which is Crater Mead, about 170 mile across. Oddly, there is no evidence on Venus of old craters like we see on the moon, Earth, and Mars. Somehow these old craters were smoothed over on Venus . . . by lava flow?? By high winds??
What term means half the earth?
The term that means half the earth is "hemisphere." The earth is divided into two main hemispheres: the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, each representing half of the planet's surface.

Which hemisphere has more of its area covered by water northern or southern?
The ocean is an interconnected body of salt water that covers about 71 percent of our planet. It covers a little more than 60 percent of the Northern Hemisphere and about 81 percent of the Southern Hemisphere.
What planet is covered with craters cut through by cliffs?
Mercury is the planet that is covered with craters cut through by cliffs. Its surface is rugged and scarred with impact craters caused by collisions with asteroids and comets. The planet's cliffs, such as the prominent of its kind called "Great cliffs," are thought to have formed as a result of the planet's shrinking due to cooling.
What is the surface of planet mercury covered with?
The surface of Mercury is covered with craters, plains, and ridges. It also has volcanic plains and impact craters formed by collisions with asteroids and comets. The planet's surface is rocky and heavily cratered due to its lack of atmosphere to protect it from impacts.
What planet is covered with craters made by meteorites?
The planet covered with craters made by meteorites is Mercury. Its lack of an atmosphere to protect it from impacts has allowed billions of years of meteorite bombardment to create a heavily cratered surface.
Where on the planet is Antarctica?
Antarctica lies in the Southern Hemisphere on planet earth.
Is Antarctica at the bottom of the planet?
Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why do winds deflect to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere?
The planet's rotation.
Which inner planet has a surface covered with craters?
Mercury is the most heavily cratered of the inner planets.
Where is Antarctica in the northern hemisphere?
The Northern Hemisphere is the only one of the four hemispheres that cannot claim Antarctica. It is located in the Southern Hemisphere, the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
What if planet is fall?
If it is fall (autumn) in the northern hemisphere, then it is spring in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa.
