The depths of lunar craters vary, but well-preserved large craters can be thousands of feet deep from rim to floor.
Here's a breakdown of the depths of some specific lunar craters, according to a 2012 report:
| Crater Name | Diameter (approx.) | Rim-to-Floor Depth (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Tycho | 53 miles (85 km) | 15,700 feet (4,800 meters) |
| Copernicus | 58 miles (93 km) | 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) |
| Aristarchus | 25 miles (41 km) | 9,800 feet (3,000 meters) |
This table illustrates that larger craters tend to be deeper, but the depth is also influenced by the age and condition of the crater. Older craters may have been partially filled in by subsequent impacts or lava flows, making them shallower.
