{{main|List of impact craters on Earth}}

On Earth, the recognition of impact craters is a branch of geology, and is related to [[planetary geology]] in the study of other worlds. Out of many proposed craters, relatively few are confirmed. The following twenty are a sample of articles of confirmed and well-documented impact sites.

<!-- as an introduction, this list should only include the most developed articles on craters that Wikipedia has to offer – all others are listed on the articles on lists of craters -->
