8. Meteorites What are impact craters? Impact Craters are depressions on many planetary surfaces. How are craters formed? They are formed by the impact of chunks of interplanetary matter (meteorites) striking the surface. Upon first impact‚ shock waves dissipate the energy of the meteorite through the ground. The ground is compressed rapidly and severely‚ and may be fractured‚ melted or vaporized Next‚ the surface is decompressed‚ and the material is flung violently out from the impact

Mercury : Due to mercury being extremely close to the sun‚ causes its planet to have no atmosphere. If any air was ever around Mercury‚ it would have been within its early years and from that point to now‚ it is gone because of all of the heat being given off of the sun. Mercury has crazy weather issues because of the lack of atmosphere‚ which includes a drastic weather change within day to night.Whenever the sun touches the surface of Mercury‚ that is when the climate reaches its highess at
