What are the saucer-like depressions on the moons surface?
The saucer-like depressions on the moon's surface are known as impact craters. They are formed when meteoroids, asteroids, or comets collide with the surface of the moon at high velocities, creating circular indentations. These impact craters can vary in size and depth, providing valuable information about the moon's history and geology.
Planets that would experience eclipses of the sun?
Any planet with moons could potentially experience an eclipse. Transits are what happens when other planets (Mercury & Venus) pass between earth and sun. Neither of these have moons. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all have moons. Pluto's moon (Charon) is big and close to it--it may (depending on its orbit) occult the sun frequently. Jupiter usually has some lunar shadow dotting its sunside surface. Only earth and Pluto have moons big enough to produce total eclipses. (Not sure about dwarf planets beyond Pluto--some of which also have moons). Mars has two tiny moons.
