Map of The Moon, Venus, Mars & Mercury If They Had As Much Water As Earth

Map of Venus with Water

The 4 maps here were all created by Alexis Huet and shows that the Moon, Venus, Mars & Mercury might look if they if they were 70% water like the Earth.

Above you can see Venus:

Venus is a quite flat planet, except on Ishtar Terra (on the north) and on Aphrodite Terra (on the right on the map).

The Moon

The Moon is full of craters, and strangely the far side (on the center of the map) is higher than the near side (on the right and on the left).

Mars

We can observe the remarkable Martian dichotomy and find:

• the Valles Marineris canyon on the right of the map (near the Tharsis volcanic plateau),
• the Olympus Mons, an alone snow-covered island close to Tharsis,
• the Hellas Planitia impact crater on the left of the map.

Mercury

Here is Mercury above 55th parallel north, where the center of the map is the North Pole
