The surfaces of solid objects in our planetary system are dappled withcraters. Some of them are due to impacts of various solid projectiles into thesurfaces of the objects. A smaller part of these craters is of volcanic origin.%Some of these are of volcanic origin, but others are consequences of impactsof various projectiles into the objects concerned On the Earth,two most oftenmentioned such events are the "Tunguska event" of 1908. and the impact whichled to the formation of the Barringer crater in Arizona. Impact craters arefrequently analyzed within the "scaling theory", which is founded ondimensional analysis. The same problem can be treated by using standard laws ofmaterial science and condensed matter physics. In this chapter the twoapproaches will be compared and possibilities for future work indicated to someextent. Some preliminary conclusions concerning an impact into a granulartarget will be presented.
