A planet with active volcanoes will have fewer craters, as older craters will tend to be buried by lava and ash.

What planet is most covered with craters?

Mercury. It has a lot of craters as the planet has no atmosphere to speak of and therefore no weather. Meteors are allowed to collide with the planet a lot more easily as the lack of atmosphere means that they don't burn or break up, the lack of weather also means that the craters stay put once they are formed, much like on our moon. There are also no active volcanoes to cover matter over the formed craters.


Why is Mars a dynamic planet?
