There is no official way of calculating this effect. Your best choice would probably be to say the blast radius is 40 feet - that is the impact radius of a single meteor from Meteor Swarm, the closest analogue to an object falling from space.
There are some other things you could do - you could do equivalency calculations using the in-game rules for dynamite or perform some physics calculations based on density and impact.
I am curious how you came up with your damage calculation. I am sure you did something to calculate that specific number, but would want to know what. Explaining your math for the 3,645d8 figure might provide clues on how to calculate a blast radius in a manner consistent with your other calculations.
What should the blast size of a 75,000 square foot cube of platinum be, give or take a few feet? The damage is 3,645d8.
Edit: Forgot to mention that it's falling from the edge of space.

2 questions, how did you get that much platinum and how is it in space. Actually 3 questions, next is why?

I was going to ask the velocity.

Falling? So terminal velocity? Does that even apply in space?

It’s just the edge of space, so it slowly starts getting pulled back down.
I'm Hecate! I've got a lotta titles, and there's no way this sig space would hold them all lol
remember that my PMs are always open to anyone who needs someone to talk to, vent to, or just shout at, and i'll always respond relatively quickly

But what’s it’s velocity when it hits?
BEANS
BOTTOM TEXT
Because then we can calculate the blast

Also I believe it would be cubic feet, not square feet, otherwise the impact would have no effect.

But does that only apply on earth’s gravity? Also, how can things fall? It’s space!
Edit, it does not, we can’t calculate without the velocity.

It’s just at the edge of space, so gravity still slowly draws it into the atmosphere.

And what is the exact duration and distance of impact
BEANS
BOTTOM TEXT
distance is about 434 miles i believe

Whats the duration then?

uhhh the speed increases by 9.8 meters per second

until it reaches terminal velocity
