The planet Venus has no liquid water, so the surface is hot, dry, and rocky, marked by lava flows and some volcanoes, and relatively few impact craters. Many of what appear to be craters are actually unique volcanic features such as:
farra - flat-topped mesas
novae - star-shaped radial features
coronae - ring-shaped features thought to be caused by the rise and collapse of a subsurface dome of heated material
arachnoids - spider-web designs

Does Mercury have a twin planet?
No, Mercury does not have a twin planet. It is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system, and there is no other planet that is exactly like Mercury in terms of its size, composition, and distance from the Sun.
Is mercury a gaseous or terrestrial planet?
Mercury is a terrestrial planet, meaning it is a rocky planet like Earth. It is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system.
Why does mercury have a name?
The element mercury is named after the planet Mercury, the closest planet to the sun in our solar system. Both the planet and the element were named after the Roman god Mercury, who was known for his swiftness, as mercury is a fast-moving liquid metal.

What caused the terrain on mercury?
Mercurys terrain is Hilly and Lineated Terrain. Sometimes, it is called the Chaotic Terrain, because it looks pretty chaotic. The Hilly and Lineated Terrain covers perhaps 360,000 square kilometers of Mercury's surface and consists of massifs filled with hills ranging, in some cases, nearly two kilometers high and several kilometers across. The hills have an appearance of almost rectangular blocks. Many ancient craters in the area are ruined by whatever event created the chaotic nature of this part of Mercury's surface.Mercury has a crater like terrain. It has been hit by so many craters that it has lost 0.1% of its diameter.

Mercury has weird terrain directly opposite its huge Caloris Impact Basin?
The weird terrain opposite the Caloris Impact Basin on Mercury is known as the "weird terrain antipodal to Caloris." This unique terrain consists of hilly and lineated landforms believed to have been created by shockwaves from the impact propagating through the planet's crust and converging on the opposite side. The presence of this terrain is an interesting feature of Mercury's geology and showcases the interconnected nature of impact events on planetary surfaces.
Is mercury a planet or dwarf planet?

Planet Mercury has no moons, just like planet Venus.

What are the Hills of Mercury?
The hills of Mercury are located, not surprising, on the Planet Mercury. Better known as the "weird terrain" this unusual hilly terrain is at the antipode (on the opposite side of the planet) from the Caloris Basin - the site of one of the solar systems largest impact feature. It is believed that the impact that created the Caloris Basin, sent shock waves around the planet, that met at the antipode thus fracturing the surface, jumbling the crust and breaking it into a series of complex blocks.
