question

Why are there no impact craters on the surface of Io?

category

physics

options

  1. Any craters that existed have been eroded through the strong winds on Io's surface.
  2. Io is protected by a layer of gas that prevents any objects from reaching its surface.
  3. The gravitational pull of nearby moons prevent objects from hitting Io.
  4. Io's magnetic field deflects incoming asteroids, preventing impact craters.
  5. Io did have impact craters but they have all been buried in lava flows.
  6. The surface of Io is made of a material that does not leave a visible impact crater.
  7. Jupiter's strong gravity attracted the planetesimals more strongly than Io and thus none landed on its surface.
  8. It is too small to have been hit during the Late Heavy Bombardment
  9. Io's thick atmosphere burns up any objects before they can hit the surface.
