meteor crater will only erode if there is some natural source such as wind or water eroding it. Since most planets besides our own do not have an atmosphere or water this process is not available. On the Earth a crater eroding would be evidenced with erosion type qualities such as furrows from water a filled crater bottom and a rounded off top.
