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.

Does Saturn have craters if so how do they form?

Saturn does not have craters. Craters are formed when one solid object crashes into another, much larger, solid object and gouges out a hole, which is called a crater. Saturn is essentially a huge ball of gas, so it cannot have craters. Craters are also formed when volcanoes explode. Because Saturn is essentially a big ball of gas it is not known to have volcanoes.

Are there craters on Saturn?

No. Saturn is a gas planet. It has no distinguishable surface, instead it has an atmosphere that just gets thicker and thicker the deeper you go, so there is no real solid surface for there to be any craters to form on. Incoming rocks would just burn/break up in the dense atmosphere.
