we categorize impact craters as either simple or complex, depending on their size and features.
A depression created by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body on the surface of a planet, moon, or other solid body in the Solar System or beyond is known as an impact crater. Impact craters often have high rims and floors that are lower in height than the surrounding landscape, unlike volcanic craters, which are formed by explosion or internal collapse. Small, straightforward depressions in the lunar regolith and minuscule craters on rocks recovered by the Apollo Program to massive, intricate impact basins with several rings are all examples of lunar impact craters. A well-known illustration of a minor impact crater on Earth is Meteor Crater.
On many solid Solar System objects, such as the Moon, Mercury, Callisto, Ganymede, and the majority of tiny moons and asteroids, impact craters are the most prominent geographic features. Visible impact craters are less frequent on other planets and moons with more active surface geological processes, such as Earth, Venus, Europa, Io, and Titan, because they are gradually worn, buried, or changed by tectonics.
