Traditionally there are two different structures that can be left behind. Although both structures are a type of hole, there are general size requirements for each. If a smaller volcano suffers a collapse and the hole is less than 1 mile in diameter, it is called a crater. If a larger volcano collapses and the hole is larger than 1 mile in diameter, it is called a caldera.

A collapsed star from which light cannot escape?

A black hole is a collapsed star with such a strong gravitational pull that not even light can escape from it. This phenomenon occurs when a massive star runs out of nuclear fuel and collapses under its own gravity. The boundary surrounding a black hole, beyond which nothing can escape, is called the event horizon.
