Melting or other resurfacing processes occurred there later than on the rest of
Generally 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) in diameter or less. However, the craters in the South Pole region of Mimas are Greater than 40 kilometers (25 miles) in diameter, although none are anywhere near Most of the Mimas surface is saturated with impact craters ranging in size up to
Youngest craters have tended to obliterate the older ones, and these moons are Longer time so early features have faded away. Mimas and another Saturn moon, Rhea, have been called "the most heavily crateredīody in the Solar System." Mimas would probably have been more heavily crateredĮxcept, being closer to Saturn, Mimas was warmer (and consequently softer) for a Times the rate of collisions as the other moons of Saturn. Mimas' close orbit means that Mimas probably receives several Mimas is tidally locked to Saturn with one side always facing in Saturn in a time of 22 hours and 37 minutes. Mimas orbits at a range of 185,520 kilometers (115,280 miles) from Ovoid with dimensions of 209 x 196 x 191 kilometers (130 x 122 x 119 miles, Mimas is not quite big enough to hold a round shape the shape is somewhat Impact may have caused the fractures, also called chasmata, on the opposite side of Mimas averages 396 kilometers (246 miles) in diameter. Would be 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) in diameter. The walls of HerschelĬrater are approximately 5 kilometers (3 miles) high, parts of the floor areĪpproximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) deep, and theĦ kilometers (4 miles) above the floor of the crater. Would probably have been "disrupted" into pieces that might have collapsed back intoĪ new moon or might have scattered into another ring of Saturn. If the object striking Mimas had been larger or been moving faster, Mimas The feature that causes this is the hugeġ40-kilometer-wide (88-mile) Herschel Crater, which is one-third the diameter of Of Saturn (the innermost of the major moons) and looks somewhat like aīull's eye if viewed from a certain angle. Mimas (pronounced MY muss or MEE muss, adjective Mimantean) is an inner moon
