... rate at which the surface of Earth is being cratered can be measured by analysing the sizes and ages of the craters that are found on certain stable areas of the Earth ... , and -1.70 around D = 40 km. The Earth's cratering rate is such that the time interval between impacts producing craters larger then say 3, 15 and 100 km is 180 ... 15,000,000 y respectively. It is found that the extraterrestrial bodies responsible for producing craters of diameters about 15 km are about 250 times more likely to be asteroids than ...
... and outwards. Most of the big stuff will stay right near the crater rim, medium sized pieces may make secondary craters farther out, and lighter material may form lighter-colored rays radiating outwards from the newly formed crater.

Abstract
Gusev crater, with 160 km diameter, emerged 3 to 4 billion years ago due to the collision of an immense asteroid with the Martian surface. This enormous crater is situated around the boundary between the southern highlands and northern lowlands. In the south ...

... , because no matter how closely we look we keep finding smaller and smaller craters. Even Moon rocks and craters have craters on them, often called zap pits. One thing we do want to do on the Moon is count the craters of different sizes, and try to get a date of when they happened. This impact ...
The rim of the larger craters would appear similar to a range of mountains as seen from the surface. Traveling through ... diameter) might someday be turned into domed habitats. The meteor crater in Arizona is a good example of how a smaller lunar crater would appear to astronauts on the Moon.
