Mercury Have More Craters Than Others Planet

Every planet in our solar system has experienced extensive cratering. This was particularly true in the past, when our solar system was being traversed by a much greater number of asteroids than it is today. Because the majority of the craters on planets like Venus, Earth, and Mars have been eroded away by the wind, rain, volcanic activity, and other processes, we do not see as many of them there. Because there is no discernible solid surface for the meteors to strike, we do not observe any craters on the large gas planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Since there is no atmosphere on Mercury, there is no weather to erode the craters, hence the most of them are still visible. And one of the interesting facts about Mercury is it has more craters than others planet. The planet Mercury has craters and features that are named after well-known living authors, singers, and artists who have passed away, such as children's novelist Dr. Seuss and dance pioneer Alvin Ailey.

At the north and south poles of Mercury, deep craters may contain water ice, but only in areas that are always in the shadows. Despite the high temperatures in the planet's sunny regions, it may be cold enough in those shadows to sustain water ice.c
