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 is the next planet after mars?
When considering distance from the sun, the planet that come after Mercury is Venus.
How are impact craters of venus different from those found on other bodies in the solar system?
because the planet has a way to reform it self every millions of years.
What planet is closer to the sun and has craters?
Mercury is closest to the sun and has craters.
Does eris have volcanoes?
While we can barely detect that Eris exists (much less see if it has any craters) I would be surprised if it does not have any craters. So far, every body with a solid surface has craters. Except Venus, and I think that the reason we haven't seen craters on Venus is the fact that the atmosphere of Venus is an impenetrable haze.
What planet has craters made by meteorites?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have impact craters.
What constellation was named after Artemis?
None - However she is acknowledged as a minor planet and a number of craters on Venus.
Is Venus' made of dust?
Venus is a rocky planet with a very thick atmosphere due to greenhouse gasses. Many volcanos and craters also are abundnt on Venus.
Venus surface features?
what is venus's landform i don't know i need it for a science project
Would you expect to find many or few craters on Venus why?
Little craters because Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system, so any comets or asteroids would burn up because of the heat or in the thick atmosphere.
Is impact cratering visible on the planet Venus?
Yes, but there are not so many craters, per square kilometer,as on the Moon.
Does venus atmosphere protect it from craters?
No. Nothing protects a planet from craters. The atmosphere of Venus does give it some production, though, from asteroid and comet impacts, which form craters. Smaller objects will burn up or disintegrate before they can reach the surface. It does little to protect from large impacts, though.
Which terrestrial planet has no craters?
There is no terrestrial planet without craters.
What is the description of venus?
Venus has craters on it's surface!
Where have the craters on Venus' surface gone?
Most of the craters have been buried by lava flows from the many volcanoes on Venus.
Which planet has the least amount of craters due to is protective atmosphere?
Venus has a very dense atmosphere, which helps burn up many meteors it pulls in. This lets the planet have many less craters than others. Additionally, the gas giants don't have any known craters, since they are made of mostly gas.
Does Venus have dirt and gravel?
No because it is mostly made up of rocks, ice, craters,
