Both the planet Mercury and the Moon are heavily cratered. There is little erosion because neither has a real atmosphere, or liquid water, or large scale geologic activity such as volcanoes.
This also means that the Moon has the same large temperature variations as Mercury (extremely hot in the sunlight, frigidly cold at night), but not to the same extremes as on Mercury. A location on the Moon will experience 14 Earth days of sunlight followed by 14 days of night. For Mercury, this period is 88 Earth days in the Sun followed by 88 days facing away.

What planet is near Mercury?
The most Mercury-like planets would be Venus, Earth and Mars. All 4 planets share similar composition, for example; a rocky surface, smaller diameter, and much denser body. -- But contrasted to Mercury; Earth, Venus, even Mars is quite a bit larger in size, and each of these planets has some sort of atmosphere. Mercury would be most comparable, really, to our own Moon. They are about the same size, and they are both geologically dead. In other words, both solar bodies have no atmosphere and no sub-surface geological activity.
