Craters – On the surfaces of most cosmic bodies that do not have an atmosphere due to the lack of a dense atmosphere in them – asteroids, satellites of the large planets of the Solar System and the Moon, Mercury, craters were discovered – ring mountains with a diameter from several kilometers to several hundred kilometers. In some of these structures there is a small elevation called the “central hill.” Scientists have discovered similar formations, but smoother due to the influence of the atmosphere on Earth, Venus and Mars. The bulk of such craters were formed in the initial stages of the development of the Solar System and are the result of impacts of cosmic bodies that had a large mass.
