Given that impact cratering is the mostcommon geological process in the solar system,study of this topic provides an excellentmeans of interplanetary comparison. Onecan gain insight into the crustal propertiesof various solar system bodies, the populationof asteroids and comets that potentiallycould cause impacts, and the varied ways inwhich impact cratering has influenced thegeologic histories of the planets.
