Pluto is so small and far away that even our best telescopes can't get a good enough picture of it to see craters. That will change when the New Horizons probe passes by Pluto and takes some closer photos.
The largest volcanic crater is Lake Tobi. This volcanic crater lake has an area of 1,130 km². It has a depth of up to 505 meters.
The largest volcanic crater in the world is located in Tanzania , Africa. It is 2,236 meters above sea level. The diameter is 19 km and its surface measures no less than 304 kilometers squared.
Multi-ring basin craters are the largest type of crater found in the solar system. They are caused by the asteroid hitting a hard, rigid surface and causing ripples in the layer under the surface.
The largest known impact crater in the universe is the South Pole-Aitken basin on the far side of the Moon. It measures about 2,500 kilometers in diameter and is one of the largest, deepest, and oldest impact craters in the solar system.
The largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa, Hawaii, with an area of 5271 km2, more than half of the "big island" of Hawaii. It is also the largest in volume, at more than 75,000 km3. The Mauna Loa (long island) ridge extends for more than 120 km, but at a slightly lower elevation than Mauna Kea to the north.The largest volcanic crater in the continental US is the Yellowstone supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park, in NW Wyoming in the US. The currently dormant caldera is approximately 3960 km2 -- 55 by 72 kilometers (34 by 44 miles)Another comparable volcanic crater (caldera) on Earth is Lake Toba on Sumatra Island, Indonesia. It is approximately 3000 km2 -- 100 kilometres long and 30 kilometres wide, and up to 505 meters (1666 feet) deep. matthew will get it wrong

The largest known crater in North America is located in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. It has a diameter of 250 km, the second-largest known crater on Earth, and was formed by a meteorite impact 1.849 billion years ago.

A meteor only hits the Earth's atmosphere, not the Earth itself. When it impacts the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. The largest meteorite crater in Australia is the Wolfe Creek crater which is also the second largest meteorite crater in the world. The crater has a diameter of about 875m, and is over 50m deep. Originally, it was about 150m deep, but windblown sand, gypsum and calcite has filled in the crater over time, and given the floor of the crater a smooth, flat surface. The Wolfe Creek Crater lies on the northeastern edge of the Great Sandy Desert, about 90 km south of Halls Creek in north Western Australia. It can only be reached by an unsealed road that joins the Tanami Rd, 145km south of Halls Creek. The journey from Halls Creek takes between 1.5 and 2 hours.
