Scientific paper

Venera-15 and Venera-16 radar image data are presented and discussed. It is found that the morphology and formation mechanisms of Venusian impact craters do not differ greatly from those on planets whose surface conditions are drastically different from those of Venus. It is suggested that the higher temperature of target rocks on Venus leads to the formation of quantities of impact vapor and melt per unit of impactor energy that are greater than those for other terrestrial planets.
