Are the craters on Mercury called ray craters?
Not necessarily. A ray crater is in impact crater that has tapering lines of light-volored material extening outward. Ray craters can found on Mercury and other objects such as the moon, but most of these craters are not ray craters.
Does Earth has craters?

What are the craters names on mercury?

What happens to craters on the surface of bodies that have no atmosphere?
The craters are preserved as there is nothing to erode them.
What is visible on the moon?
There are several lunar features that are visible to the naked eye, and more are visible with even a very small telescope.The craters are probably the most obvious; circular impact craters caused by the collision of some very large asteroids or comets have created circular mountain ranges that are hundreds of miles in diameter. There are craters in craters, craters ON craters, and chains of craters. Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, there are no erosive forces to break down and hide the craters (as there is here on Earth) and so the only thing wearing away the old craters are ..... new craters!Lunar craters are usually named for astronomers and scientists.The other major features of the Moon are the maria, or seas. Originally believed to be oceans and seas of water by classical observers, we now believe that they were made by lava flows.

The large indentation on the surface of the moon areÊcalled craters. It is a circular depression in the surface of the moon and other solid body in the solar system.Ê
What are the moons craters called?
The craters on moons are simply called craters. They are formed by impact events from asteroids, comets, or meteoroids striking the surface of the moon.
What is the main reason that impact craters on the Moon last much longer than impact craters on earth?
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.
What happens after a craters hits the moon?
Craters don't hit moons. Craters are the results of meteorites hitting moons.
