Here’s the meteor crater calculator: http://www.convertalot.com/asteroid_impa... Just plug in the size you want, speed, etc., and it will show you about how big the crater will be.

Under 0.3 meter (1 foot) no crater because they are destroyed in the atmosphere. Beyond that craters are generally much larger. Example the Arizona crater is 4900 feet across, but the meteor was only 65-70 feet

Bigger meteor = bigger crater. You're not too bright, are you Skippy?
