This mostly happened due to many meteorites and comets bombarding the surface of the planet.
No. Uranus is a gas planet. It does not have a solid surface.
Ah, Mercury's surface is quite rocky and covered in craters, kind of like a painting with lots of texture. You can also see long cliffs and pockmarks from meteorite impacts - it's all quite beautiful in its own rugged way! Just imagine yourself hiking those lunar landscapes, with each little detail telling a story of our Solar System's history.
There are a huge number of craters on the Earth, including very small impact sites. There are about 65 named and documented craters on the planet.
It's smooth and shiny, and has a convex meniscus.
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.
Astroids can form huge craters when they hit Earth
Yes, sometimes they did.
something really big hits that area and makes a dent!
huge craters by Eric porter
comets or meteores plunge into the moon and make huge holes.

The craters on Mercury vary in age, but many of the larger ones probably formed during the Late Heavy Bombardment from 4.1 billion to 3.8 billion years ago. Many younger craters exist however and have formed throughout the planet's existence.
