Why does meteoroids strike mercury but not earth?

Meteoroids are more likely to strike Mercury because its proximity to the sun results in a denser population of meteoroids in its vicinity. Additionally, Mercury's lack of a substantial atmosphere means there is no protective layer to burn up meteoroids before they reach the surface. Earth's atmosphere, on the other hand, acts as a shield, causing most meteoroids to burn up before they reach the surface.
