Yes, Triton, a moon of Neptune, does have impact craters on its surface. These craters are evidence of past collisions with other objects in space. Many of Triton's craters are relatively well-preserved due to the lack of significant geological activity on its surface.
Impacts from objects in space.
Depends on which kind of craters you are thinking about. Craters aren't important as such. But impact craters tell us that not all things in space stays nicely in their expected positions. Some drift around and occasionally collide with planets, causing impact crates and other damage. Volcanic craters tells us that the planet has some seismic activity.

Space rocks. On Earth we would call them "meteors", because they would generally burn up while passing through the atmosphere. The Moon has no atmosphere, so there's nothing to prevent small space rocks from crashing into it. This has left the Moon covered with millions of craters; big craters, little craters, craters IN craters, and craters ON craters.
Mars has many craters because it's been hit by many asteroids and space debris. By the way, if we could remove all trees and vegetation, we'd see the earth also has many craters-- not as many as Mars possibly, but scientists know the earth has been hit by asteroids and meteors.
Flying debris in space, such as meteors, hit the moon and it forms craters.
The moon has many craters because it lacks an atmosphere to protect it from impacts by meteoroids and asteroids. When these space rocks collide with the moon's surface, they create craters that remain preserved due to the moon's inactive geological processes.
Not really. The moon has craters. The craters are caused by objects from space hitting it.
Craters are formed by impacts from objects from space, such as meteorites.

Scientists can discover the relative age of two objects by counting the number of craters on their surfaces. The longer an object has been in space, the more craters it should have. Comparing the number of craters on two objects in space will determine which is older.
Empty space. Craters.
things in space crashed on to it.
Impacts from objects in space.
Asteroids, meteors, comets, or some type of space rock that hit the Moon and causes the crater.
