dimensionless relations that predict crater size from impactor size, speed and target strength or gravity, separating strength and gravity regimes.

In planetary science, impact crater scaling refers to dimensionless relations that predict crater size from impactor size, speed and target strength or gravity, separating strength and gravity regimes. This meaning comes from Holsapple (1993) in Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences.[1]
