Detailed explanation-1: -Much of Earth’s surface is recycled through plate tectonic activity (and erosion), so Earth also has few craters.
Detailed explanation-2: -Once something hits the Moon, that event becomes frozen in time. Earth, on the other hand, simply brushes these impact craters off and moves on with its life. No wonder there are so many craters on the Moon compared to Earth!
Detailed explanation-3: -Mercury has more craters than any other planet, which means that, as the smallest planet, it also has the highest crater density.
Detailed explanation-4: -An impact crater is formed when an object like an asteroid or meteorite crashes into the surface of a larger solid object like a planet or a moon. To form a true impact crater, this object needs to be traveling extremely fast-many thousands of miles per hour!
