Why are impact structures more common on the surface of Mars than on the surfaces of Venus Earth and Jupiter?
Earth has wind, and water, and tectonic plates. This causes impact craters to be destroyed relatively quickly, over the course of hundreds of thousands of years.
Jupiter is a gas giant, and has no crust. Since there's nothing for the meteor to crash into, there's no impact crater at all!
As for Venus, it actually does have a large number of impact craters, they just can't be seen easily underneath the thick atmosphere. However, Venus does have some volcanic activity which damages the craters. This process is so slow that it takes about 500 million years to destroy them all.
Mars, on the other hand, has no processes that destroy craters other than a very thin atmosphere with a little bit of wind. Therefore, the craters there last far longer. In addition, Mars is nearer to the asteroid belt, and is more likely to attract meteors from there than Earth and Venus.
What else can I help you with?
Which galilean satellite has active volcanos?
Io is the innermost of the four large moons (Galilean moons) of Jupiter. Its closeness to Jupiter means that its surface is in a constant state of flex, the gravity from Jupiter distorts its surface, generating heat and flaws in the surface of the moon. This means that volcanoes are a common occurrence on Io.
What does Jupiter have in common with the sun that the terrestrial planets don't?
Jupiter consists of hydrogen and helium (primarily) like the Sun. It has a host of satellites in orbit around its equatorial plane. The sun has natural satellites (planets) that orbit its equatorial plane.
What feature does Neptune have in common with Jupiter Uranus and Saturn?
Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn are all gas giants. They are composed mostly of hydrogen and helium and do not have solid surfaces like terrestrial planets. They also have ring systems, although Neptune's rings are less prominent compared to those of Saturn.
What object can be classified with earth and Jupiter?
The question tells you that earth and Jupiter have something in common and is asking you to find the choice that shares that characteristic. The characteristic that earth and Jupiter have in common is that they are both planets. Find the multiple choice answer that references a planet.
Which group of planets has more in common the inner planets or the outer planets?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have more in common with each other compared to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are often referred to as terrestrial planets and are characterized by their solid surfaces and relatively small sizes, while the outer planets are gas giants with no solid surface and much larger sizes.
What surface feature do Jupiter and the sun have in common?
They are both gaseous, they both have spots, and they both have fierce surface "winds".
Which galilean satellite has active volcanos?
Io is the innermost of the four large moons (Galilean moons) of Jupiter. Its closeness to Jupiter means that its surface is in a constant state of flex, the gravity from Jupiter distorts its surface, generating heat and flaws in the surface of the moon. This means that volcanoes are a common occurrence on Io.
What item has the lowest friction?
Ice has the lowest friction of common surfaces due to its smooth and slippery surface.
What does Jupiter have in common with the sun that the terrestrial planets don't?
Jupiter consists of hydrogen and helium (primarily) like the Sun. It has a host of satellites in orbit around its equatorial plane. The sun has natural satellites (planets) that orbit its equatorial plane.
What characteristics do the giants have in common?
The first four outer planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune-are much larger and more massive than Earth, and they do not have solid surfaces.
Do Jupiter have craters?
While Jupiter is composed mainly of gasses there is a solid core at the center of the planet roughly the same size as the earth. The surface of this core is believed to be composed of glacier ice. Therfore Jupiter does have landforms.
Is Jupiter a common noun?
No, the noun Jupiter is a proper noun, the name of a specific planet. The common noun for Jupiter is planet.
Do asteroids have more in common with Mars or Jupiter?
Asteroids have more in common with Mars than with Jupiter. This is because both asteroids and Mars are rocky bodies, while Jupiter is a gas giant. Like Mars, asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, whereas Jupiter is mostly made up of gas and lacks a solid surface like asteroids and Mars.
What solid has only curved surface?
A solid that has only curved surfaces is a cylinder or a sphere. However, the sphere is the most common example of a solid with exclusively curved surfaces, as it is perfectly round and has no flat faces. In contrast, a cylinder has two flat circular bases in addition to its curved surface.
What is Jupiter's most common elements?
The most common elements of Jupiter are molecular hydrogen (89.8%) and helium (10.2%).
The two common forms of friction between two sliding surfaces presented in this course are?
Friction refers to the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. The two common forms of friction between two sliding surfaces are static friction and rolling friction.
Surface processes do you think is the most common in the solar system?
Erosion through wind and water is a common surface process in the solar system, particularly on Earth and Mars. Impact cratering from asteroids and meteorites also shapes the surfaces of many planetary bodies.
