What two places in the solar system have the most impact craters?
The most heavily cratered object in the solar system is thought to be Callisto, the second-largest moon of Jupiter.This does not necessarily indicate that it has been more heavily bombarded than other bodies (for example, the "far side" of the Moon, which is hit by bodies drawn toward Earth). It only means that the craters have not been eroded or erased by the exterior processes of the planet or Moon.As far as total impacts, the planet Mercury has slightly greater area than Callisto, and substantial cratering. The largest moon of Jupiter, Ganymede, also has its fair share despite tectonic smoothing.
