Crater degradation and erosion control the lifetime of craters in the meter-to-kilometer diameter range on the lunar surface. A consequence of this crater degradation process is that meter-scale craters survive for a comparatively short time on the lunar surface in geologic terms. Here, we derive crater lifetimes for craters of
