It is because of the asteroid and meteor. An asteroid or meteor is more likely to hit Earth than the Moon because Earth is much larger than the Moon, providing a meteoroid with more surface area to strike! However, there are thousands of craters on the Moon, whereas there are only roughly 180 on Earth! What is the reason for this? And it is because the Moon has no atmosphere, it has almost no erosion. That means there is no wind, no weather, and definitely no plants. After marks have been produced on a surface, almost nothing can remove them. The dusty footprints of astronauts who once walked on the Moon may still be seen today, and they're not going away any time soon.
Meteorites have caused craters on the moon. Why do you think the Earth does not have as many as the moon?
