Which planet is less than half the diameter of the earth looks like your own moon?
Mercury. It has a diameter of around 4880km, while Earths diameter is 12104 km on average. Mercury is too small and close to the sun to have an atmosphere, so there is much less protection from incoming meteors which would tend to break up in a thicker atmospheres such as the Earths. The impacts of these collisions cause craters. As with the moon, the lack of atmosphere and weathering means that the craters stay intact for millions of years.
