Question
what do we conclude if a planet has few impact craters of any size?
the planet was never bombarded by asteroids or comets.
the planets geological processes have erased most of the craters.
the planets atmosphere stopped objects of all sizes.
the planet suffered a mass extinction due to a large asteroid impact, which also wiped out most other craters.
In the solar - system, all planets have been bombarded by asteroids or comets at some point. A planet's atmosphere can't stop all - sized objects. A mass extinction due to an asteroid impact doesn't typically wipe out most other craters. Geological processes like volcanism, erosion, and tectonics can erase impact craters over time.
