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.

What position does the crater from the meteor that is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs rank among the largest meteor craters on earth?
Perhaps in the "top ten" of craters that we have evidence of, but certainly not the largest. There is evidence of a much bigger crater - nearly obliterated now - in the Canadian Shield. The largest meteorites or cometary nucleii to strike earth were early in the planet's existence, and pretty much all visible evidence of them is long gone.
