Impact craters are common on the surface of all of the planets except Earth and a few moons with active tectonics,volcanism,or both.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Impact craters form when a meteorite or asteroid collides with a planet's surface, and this process has occurred on all of the planets in our solar system except for Earth. Earth has relatively few craters visible on its surface due to its active tectonics and erosion processes that continually reshape its surface. However, there are some moons with active tectonics and volcanism, such as Io and Enceladus, that also do not have many impact craters visible on their surfaces.
