The largest verified crater on Earth is the Vredfort Crater in Africa. It's 300 km in diameter and about 5 km deep. It's so big it doesn't even look like a crater from the ground, but it's possible to see evidence of it from the air.

The Wilkes Land crater in Antarctica is even larger at 500 km diameter, but it's buried under ice so it hasn't been verified yet.

The biggest crater in the solar system is the Borealis Basin on Mars, which covers most of Mars' northern hemisphere.
