Morphometry of meteorite craters of Venus
Description
The results of morphometric analysis of meteorite craters on Venus identified on Venera 15/16 space probes images are given. Estimations of depth of the craters, heights of central peaks over the crater floor and angle of inner slope of the craters have been made. The obtained estimations are compared with the appropriate data on the terrestrial and lunar meteorite craters. A conclusion has been made that in relation to depth/diameter ratio the craters of Venus are closer to terrestrial meteorite craters
