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. So, shouldn't for
example, the average crater size on Mercury be bigger than the average crater
size on the moon?
