Hi, The biggest craters are multi-ringed; they are big enough that they are called "multi-ringed basins" or just "basins." Properly, I suppose we should call them "impact features" rather than craters. The Solar System Hit Parade: Record Holders and All Basins Over 3000 km, are as follows

Hi Darren: Lots of other factors going on: Extra velocity caused by the gravity of the impacted body. Composition of the surface being hit. Composition/density (and thus mass) of the impactor. Surface processes that will affect the loss of craters or their just fading away. At some point, wit

I was just thinking about this, wondering if anyone has tried to compare average sizes of craters across bodies in the solar system? I was thinking along the lines that, since orbital velocity is higher the closer an object is to the sun, then there should be more "bang for the buck" for impactors
