Does the shape of a meteor effect the shape of the crater?

Answer 1

I am not exactly sure but I have a good scientific guess. No because the crater is always bigger than the meteor so it starts forming a circle when it comes out because the pressure is so hard that it will tear the shape a part as it forms.

Answer 2

Yes, the shape of a meteor can affect the shape of the crater it creates. For example, a steeper impact angle can result in a more elongated or elliptical crater, while a shallow impact angle can produce a more circular crater. The size, speed, and angle of impact all play a role in determining the final shape of the crater.
