Most of the craters probably formed when the solar system was young and large impacts were far more common than they are now.
Impacts from objects in space.
Yes, Mercury has craters.
Mercury has impact craters but not volcanoes.
Mercury has lots of craters and canyons
The craters on Mercury, like those on other planetary bodies, formed over billions of years from impacts by asteroids and comets. The majority of Mercury's craters were likely formed during the early history of the solar system, roughly between 4.5 to 3.5 billion years ago.
Mercury has craters and mountains but no moons.
Mercury is pitted with craters because Mercury has almost no atmosphere to protect itself.
Some of the notable craters on Mercury include names like Shakespeare, Beethoven, Debussy, and Caloris. Caloris Basin is one of the largest and most well-known craters on Mercury.
Mercury has no atmosphere and no surface fluids, so there is nothing to erode the craters.
It is mostly in the form of water ice in sheltered parts of craters.
Yes, Mercury and the Earth's moon are covered with craters on the surfaces
no moons but have big craters
