An impactor is the object or 'tool' making the impaction. For example, If a crater was to be made, the meteor is the impactor, the crater is the impaction, and the ejecta is the loose debris.

What causes impact?
Asteroids, meteorites or comets are impactors that form impact craters on the Earth and other bodies throughout the solar system. Obviously, the Earth for instance, has to cross an impactor's orbit or vice versa. The size of the impactor hitting the Earth depends on the type of crater that can occur and also the other factors- · the velocity of the impactor · composition of the impactor · composition of the target rock · the strength and porosity of the impactor · angle of impact · gravity of the target planet For more on craters try- www.weirdwarp.com
How large is an impact crater compared to the impactor?
10-20 percent larger
How do impact craters form?
From the impact of fast moving objects with a surface. The kinetic energy of the impactor excavates a crater with an inverted, raised rim and forms an ejector plume leaving a crater and, if the impactor is sufficiently large or fast, a central mountain peak.
What was the name of the planet that hit earth?
The name of the (proto)planet that hit (proto)Earth in the Giant Impactor hypothesis is Theia.
What are the differencess between Cydia Extender and Cydia Impactor?
Basically Cydia Extender is a segment of Cydia Impactor. As in it is a part of the most recent Cydia Impactor release. And also Cydia Extender installs as its individual application on iOS devices such as iPhone/ iPad/ iPod touch. Cydia Extender has been designed to re-sign automatically to the applications that are not downloaded from the original app store. The main feature of Cydia Extender is that when it signed in to an application, it remains signed in for the rest of the time. So you can quickly sign-in to an app automatically whenever you want.
Meteor that strikes the earth surface?
Is called a bolide or impactor and any fragments that survive the collision with the atmosphere or ground are called meteorites.
What creates earths deformation?
Heat form the Earth's core, Gravity, The Pull of the Moon and Sun (tidal deformation), and occasionally an incoming impactor.
What are the 3 types of probes?

What is the biggest earthquake since the earth began?
Probably the one that resulted by the impactor that spawned the Moon, followed by the one that occurred when the Moon broke free.
What are VSI aggregates in concrete making?
The aggregate which are produced from vertical shaft impactor ( the machine which is installed in crusher plant to control the elongated and flaky aggregate ) for concrete.
How fast are impact craters?
The impact craters themselves are stationary; they don't move. The impactor that MADE the craters was moving quite rapidly, but we don't know exactly how fast any particular impactor was, since we didn't measure it. However, the meteors in the 2009 Perseid meteor shower were going at 130,000 miles per hour when they entered the Earth's atmosphere. So the lunar impactors were probably going somewhere near that velocity.
