Do Jupiter have craters?
While Jupiter is composed mainly of gasses there is a solid core at the center of the planet roughly the same size as the earth. The surface of this core is believed to be composed of glacier ice. Therfore Jupiter does have landforms.
How many craters are on Saturn?
Jupiter has such a dense atmosphere that anything entering it at high speed will burn up before reaching any solid surface where it could create a crater. In fact, it is not known if Jupiter even HAS a solid surface at all! The pieces of the comet that did hit Jupiter's atmosphere left some pretty amazi ng perturbations in that atmosphere as we saw from pictures taken with telescopes (including the Hubble Space Telescope) shortly after the collisions. Note: the comet had already broken up into many pieces before colliding with Jupiter.
What has over 60 satelites and rings although none of its rings are visible?
Jupiter is a planet that has over 60 satellites and rings that are not visible.
When are craters most visible on the moon?
Craters on the moon are most visible when the sunlight hits them at a low angle, such as during the waxing or waning phases of the moon. This creates long shadows that make the crater edges more prominent.
Why does the moon have big craters?
Mostly from asteroid impacts. The moon has no atmosphere to impede an asteroid's approach, or to disturb the land contours after it has landed, so the craters remain permanently visible.
Why are there craters on Jupiter?
Craters on Jupiter are typically caused by impacts from asteroids or comets. Jupiter's strong gravitational pull can attract these objects, leading to collisions with its surface. The planet's thick atmosphere can also cause meteors to explode before impact, creating visible scars on its surface.

Why do moon craters remain visible longer than earth craters?
There is no significant amount of erosion on the Moon.
What planet has the most visible craters?
Mercury is the planet with the most visible craters in our solar system. Its surface is heavily pocked with impact craters due to its lack of atmosphere to protect it from incoming space debris.

What is visible on the moon?
There are several lunar features that are visible to the naked eye, and more are visible with even a very small telescope.The craters are probably the most obvious; circular impact craters caused by the collision of some very large asteroids or comets have created circular mountain ranges that are hundreds of miles in diameter. There are craters in craters, craters ON craters, and chains of craters. Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, there are no erosive forces to break down and hide the craters (as there is here on Earth) and so the only thing wearing away the old craters are ..... new craters!Lunar craters are usually named for astronomers and scientists.The other major features of the Moon are the maria, or seas. Originally believed to be oceans and seas of water by classical observers, we now believe that they were made by lava flows.
What has over 60 satelites and rings although none of its rings are visible?
Jupiter is a planet that has over 60 satellites and rings that are not visible.
What is the scientific question about the planet Jupiter?
How often is Jupiter visible in the nighttime sky
When will planets be visible in Florida?
Venus Jupiter
This planet has belts of visible clouds?
Jupiter.
What are the three reasons why most craters left on the earth are no longer visible?
Most craters on Earth are no longer visible due to erosion, which gradually wears away the crater's features over time. Geological processes, such as tectonic activity, can also alter or destroy craters by reshaping the landscape. Additionally, sedimentation can bury craters beneath layers of soil and rock, making them difficult to detect.
Which planets have crators?
Presuming this refers to impact craters - in our solar system, the inner (rocky, or terrestrial) planets all have craters; Mercury's are quite apparent - Venus's craters a little harder to see through the thick atmosphere but great detail was made visible through recent radar mapping and plenty of craters are present. Earth has its share of craters, over 150 - with the largest around two hundred miles in diameter... although various factors especially geological ones tend to obscure or obliterate them. Mars also has plenty, including the largest impact crater still visible in the solar system. The outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, with their gaseous outer envelopes don't present a cratered appearance.
