Create an impact crater

Input values for the impactor size, velocity and angle of impact (90=impact is straight down) into the boxes provided below, and select a composition for the impactor. Press the "Calculate" button to determine the characteristics of the resulting impact, which will appear to the right.

Impactor Diameter (m) Impactor Velocity (km/s) Angle (degrees)
Impactor Composition:     Metal       Rock      Ice
  
Resulting Impact Characteristics:
You cannot edit the values below, only the input values to the left.
