It is called a crater.(:
Impact crater is one term for the hole in the ground caused by a meteor hitting the planet.

a crater.
The hole is known as a crater.
A solid object hitting the ground with the force of a meteor would leave a crater, a depression in the ground with a raised edge at the surface, similar to Meteor Crater in Arizona.
The impact hole left in the Earth or any planet would be a crater.
The impact hole left in the Earth or any planet would be a crater.
The hole in the ground caused by a meteor hitting a planet is called an impact crater. These craters are formed when a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet collides with the surface of a planet or moon, creating a bowl-shaped depression. The size of the impact crater depends on the size and speed of the impacting object.
Yes, the Earth's lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of the planet that includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. It is divided into tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath it.
No. If you're wondering about the asteroid belt, there was never a planet there in the first place; Jupiter's gravity kept one from ever forming. Meteors, properly speaking, couldn't destroy a planet anyway.
Craters are where a chunk of space debris, such as a meteor or comet, has struck the surface of the planet and has caused material from the planets (or moons) surface to be ejected outwards.
An explosion. Sometimes, depending on the surface of the planet, it leaves a crater. (75% of Earth is covered with water, and considerable areas of Saturn's moon Titan appear to be covered with some sort of liquid.)
