What is the moon lacking that would protect it from meteors?

Unlike the Earth, the moon does not have an atmosphere to help protect it from meteors. When meteors enter the Earth's atmosphere, the resistance of the air causes friction and generates a tremendous amount of heat - so much so that most meteors are destroyed before they reach the ground. The moon does not have an atmosphere and therefore there is nothing stopping meteorites from bombarding the surface. Hence, the large number of impact craters on the moon.
