For additional meanings of "Crater", please see Crater.
In the study of planetary science, a crater is a bowl-shaped depression or hole found on the surface of planetary bodies created by impacts from stellar debris.
In 2152, Trip Tucker recalled standing on an asteroid crater twice as high as Mount Everest to Zho'Kaan while they were stranded on a moon together. (ENT: "Dawn")
In 2355, a Ferengi starship hid within a deep lunar crater in the Maxia Zeta system, prior to ambushing the USS Stargazer in an event later known as the Battle of Maxia. (TNG: "The Battle")
Craters can also be created by the impact of weapons fire, such as Klingon shells. (DS9: "Nor the Battle to the Strong")
