Craters are most generally described in terms of the floor, the wall, and the rim.

Mercury was studied by the Mariner 10 Probe and has a crater pitted surface.
No, a crater pipe and a vent are not the same. A crater pipe is a conduit that connects a magma chamber to the surface, allowing magma to erupt onto the surface. A vent is the opening at the surface through which volcanic material is erupted.
An impact crater is formed when a large meteorite or asteroid collides with the surface of a planet at high velocity. The impact releases a tremendous amount of energy, causing the ground to be excavated and displaced, leaving behind a depression. The size and depth of the crater depend on the size of the impacting object and the characteristics of the planet's surface.

No, Jupiter is a gas planet. There is no solid surface to crater or pit.

This is known as an impact crater. Please see the related link.
The material that stacks around the edge of an impact crater on the Moon is called "crater rim ejecta" or simply "ejecta." This material is composed of debris that is ejected outward during the impact event and can form a raised rim around the crater. The thickness and extent of this ejecta can vary depending on the size of the impact and the characteristics of the lunar surface.
