On every rocky celestial body, a crater is used to define the damage left behind by a meteorite's impact with the ground of the celestial body. Thus, all the craters on Mars are from meteorites that have impacted with Mars's surface.

Now you might wonder, "What is a meteorite?" A meteorite is any object in space (asteroid, comet, or meteorite) that has crashed into a celestial body that has a solid surface (i.e., moon, planet, etc...).
