Answer:
1. The planet doesn't have a thick enough atmosphere.
2. There have been multiple impacts on the planet.
Explanation:
As the planet is very close to the star, there is high possibility that it will not have an atmosphere. Just like Mercury doesn't have one. Presence of a very large crater with basin indicates that in the past a huge body had hit the planet and thus creating the crater with basin. Also, it must be very old.
Second observation that is given is the presence of smaller craters in the basin. This indicates impact craters created by smaller objects. If the planet had an atmosphere, these smaller objects would not be able to penetrate and reach the surface. Thus presence of these smaller crater indicate towards the planet not having any atmosphere.
The forces of gravity between two objects depend on
-- the product of the two masses
and
-- the distance between the centers of the two objects.
Ionic bond.
In the ionic bond one atom loses one or more electrons, leaving the atom with positive charge, and the other atom accepts those electrons standing with negative charge.
