Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The heavily cratered planet closest to the Sun is Neptune.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: Pluto is usually farthest from the Sun. However, its orbit “crosses” inside of Neptune’s orbit for 20 years out of every 248 years. Pluto last crossed inside Neptune’s orbit on February 7, 1979, and temporarily became the 8th planet from the Sun.
Detailed explanation-3: -Geological processes such as cryovolcanism and glacial activity can’t have simply smoothed out Pluto’s and Charon’s surfaces, the scientists say, because such resurfacing would have erased the bigger craters along with the small ones.
