List of impact craters on Earth

The Earth is covered with craters. All well worn down, and hard to see with oceans and vegetation growing hiding them. One nice one is in Southern Ohio.

Serpent Mound Crater

If you look, you can see it pretty clearly.

Might have to get on the website for a larger view.

Here's an answer:

The rock that hit Jupiter was probably smaller than a house.

Maybe only 10 meters across – the size of a large truck.

With quite a large explosion.

The article includes a short video of the impact.
