Scientific paper

A comparison between the terrestrial, Cytherean and lunar cratering records indicates that the large craters (diameters D>D0) on these surfaces all have cumulative numbers that are proportional to D-2.59+/-0.05. Atmospheres have a negligible effect on the formation of D>D0 craters. It is shown that this limiting diameter is 45+/-3km in the case of Venus, and 21.0+/-1.5km in the case of Earth. In this large-diameter range, there are about 1.51+/-0.34 times more craters, per unit area, on Venus than on the Earth, and about 1350+/-310 times more craters, per unit area, on the Moon than on the Earth.
