First ,the presence of craters on Mercury. Yes these are present and have been confirmed by NASA photographs. These craters are created by similar processes as those on the moon.Mercury has water ice in shadowed craters at its north pole. This was identified by radar examination of the planet in 1994 and later confirmed by NASA photographs.
Similarly water ice has been identified in shadowed craters at the moon's poles.
As a consequence:
- Mercury is not dry, it has ice deposits
- Mercury has craters formed by impacts like those on the moon.
- Some of the craters in both locations are dry (the majority) Others have ice deposits.
What else can I help you with?
How would landscape be like on mercury?
It is quite similar to that of our moons landscape. It has craters, boulders and rocks on the surface. There is no atmosphere, so no wind or rain to erode the craters away over time. The sky would be black rather than blue, while the sun would appear much larger in size.
How dry is the moon?
Dry as bone, there is no water except at the South Pole.
What is the surface on mercury like?
Mercury's surface is rocky and heavily cratered, with some areas covered by smooth plains. There are also cliffs, ridges, and valleys on the surface due to tectonic activity and impacts from asteroids and comets. The temperature on Mercury's surface can vary greatly, ranging from extremely hot during the day to very cold at night.
What percentage is the moon covered with water?
The moon is not covered with water - it is a dry and airless celestial body with no liquid water on its surface. There may be some water ice in shadowed craters, but it is minimal compared to the total surface area of the moon.
What did Galileo discover about the earth's moon?
he made a telescope, made it look at images 20x closer. He looked at the Jupiter and then saw the four moons and called them the "Galilean Moons".

Dry as bone, there is no water except at the South Pole.
Is there any precipitation on the moon?
The moon is bone dry, save perhaps some ice in polar craters. There is no atmosphere to support clouds, and therefore no clouds. Without clouds, there is no precipitation.
What does the planet mercury look like?
It Looks Like Our Moon Just 40% Bigger
What is the surface on mercury like?

The temperature on Mercury's surface can vary greatly, ranging from extremely hot during the day to very cold at night.
Does the planet Mercury get storms?
Mercury doesn't have the atmosphere like Earth's and, it's to dry on Mercury, so, it's impossible for Mercury to have storms
Is the planet mercury humid or dry?
Mercury is dry and airless.
What does the surface of the moon contain?
The surface of the moon contains craters of all sizes and dry lunar soil. The soil does not contain air and anything organic. Grabens, maria, domes and rilles are other things that can be found on Moon's surface.
What are some lunar features of the moon?
No atmosphere, dry, dusty, rocky surface, mountain ranges, maria: low, flat areas, dark areas (basaltic lava) impact craters.
What percentage is the moon covered with water?
The moon is not covered with water - it is a dry and airless celestial body with no liquid water on its surface. There may be some water ice in shadowed craters, but it is minimal compared to the total surface area of the moon.
Why doesn't the Moon look like the Earth if it is a fragment of the Earth?
We don't believe that the Moon is properly a "fragment" of the Earth. We believe that the Moon was formed from the debris when the pre-Earth collided with another primeval planet in the very early years of the solar system, about 4.5 billion years ago. The cores of the two planets probably merged; this may be why the Earth has a larger iron core than the Moon does. The debris from the collision blasted away later coalesced to form the Moon. The Moon has no atmosphere, and most likely never did. Without any atmosphere or water, the dry and sterile Moon never developed life, or any agents that would erode impact craters. So the Moon is covered with craters, but on Earth the craters are eroded away and erased within a few million years, by the action of rain, rivers, and wind.
Is the moon dry and wet?
moon is dry
