An instrument or device used for measuring the depth, diameter, or dimensions of craters.
From crater + -meter (Greek metron meaning 'measure'). This combining form appears in thermometer, barometer, and dozens of measuring instruments.
Modern crater measuring isn't done with handheld tools anymore—satellites use laser altimetry to map craters with centimeter accuracy, creating 3D models of alien landscapes.
