Laboratory experiments allow examining the consequences of complex processes operating over a wide range of scales (both temporal and spatial) and frequently reveal effects that are obvious only in hindsight. Even though all processes may not scale directly, isolation of the controlling variables allows assessing first-order effects through analytical approximations. This approach can be illustrated by the systematic sequence of ballistic ejection, the response of an atmosphere to a strong energy source, the scaling of ejecta thickness, and the role of secondary cratering. Here it is proposed that the effects of atmospheric pressure and density on crater growth (hence, scaling) observed in laboratory experiments has particular relevance for craters on Venus.
