What planet contains craters making it look similar to earth's moon?

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have impact craters. Earth's craters are subject to weathering, subduction and orogeny, erasing them from the surface after a time. Mercury is an airless world, geologically inactive, so it has preserved its craters from the beginning of the solar system. Mercury's appearance is most like that of our moon.

How many moons would fit inside the planet mercury?

For the Earth's Moon (Luna), you could fit 2.8 Moons into the volume of Mercury. Mercury is the smallest of the major planets, and is smaller than the moons Ganymede (Jupiter) and Titan (Saturn). But it is much more dense than either, as many of its lighter elements were dispersed at that close distance to the Sun.


Earth has abundant life dou you think that other planets or moons might support life If so which ones which characteristics of the planets or moons might be conducive to life?

It is my personal opinion that Earth cannot be the only planet that has abundant life. I believe that if life is going to be discovered on another planet that it will be the newest plant to be discovered, planet Kepler 186f.
