The impactor in this case was not large enough to cause anything more than "local" atmospheric effects. The blast was about 10 megatons, one fifth that of the largest nuclear explosion.
"The Barringer Meteorite Crater (also known as "Meteor Crater") is a gigantic hole in the middle of the arid sandstone of the Arizona desert. A rim of smashed and jumbled boulders, some of them the size of small houses, rises 150 feet above the level of the surrounding plain. The crater itself is nearly a mile wide, and 570 feet deep."

There are plenty of famous meteors, to know which one specifically you are speaking about, I would need a name. The most famous is probably the one that many believe killed all the dinosaurs. This meteor is estimated to be about 6 miles wide, and created a crater about 110 miles across. Many believe that the Chicxulub Crater in Yucatan, Mexico is this meteor.
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.
It would do nothing what so ever to the sun. You asked about "sunlight", not "the sun", and the answer is that if it was big enough a crashing meteorite could raise a dust cloud which in turn would obscure sunlight across the area of its spread.
The purpose of the passage The Barringer Meteorite Crater is to provide information about the impact crater in Arizona caused by a meteorite collision. It aims to describe the formation process, characteristics, and scientific significance of the crater.
A meteorite. Most scientists believe that a meteorite formed the Barringer Crater. There is a difference between a meteor and a a meteorite. A meteorite is a meteor that has hit the earth's surface.
The Barringer Crater resulted from a meteorite impact with the earth about 50,000 years ago.
The first confirmed impact crater discovered on Earth is the Barringer Crater (Meteor Crater) in Arizona, USA. It was identified as an impact site in the early 20th century by geologist Daniel Barringer. The crater was formed around 50,000 years ago by a meteorite impact.
A hole in the ground caused by a meteorite is called a meteorite crater. These craters are formed when a meteorite impacts the Earth's surface, creating a depression due to the immense energy released during the collision. The size and shape of the crater can vary depending on the size, speed, and angle of the impacting meteorite. Notable examples include the Barringer Crater in Arizona and the Chicxulub Crater in Mexico.

Daniel Barringer believed that a large iron deposit was evidence of a meteorite impact crater in Arizona, but he mistakenly assumed it was located beneath the surface. In reality, the meteorite had vaporized upon impact, leaving no significant remnants underground. This led Barringer to invest in fruitless mining efforts in the wrong location.
In Arizona
the barringer crater is located in Arizona

You are probably referring to the Barringer Crater. This meteor crater is a meteorite impact crater approximately 37 miles (60 km) east of Flagstaff and 18 miles (29 km) west of Winslow in the northern Arizona desert of the United States.
