Mercury is the planet that most resembles the Moon in visible surface features and atmosphere. It is a grey planet that has many craters and a thin atmosphere.
Venus was known as the horned planet because it resembles our moon. When a planet or moon partially eclipses it, it resembles our crescent moon. And people with very good eyesight could actually see this. So the horned planet.
The vast majority of lunar craters are caused by meteor impacts.

Craters happen when meteorites impact on the Moon's surface. Most of the craters on the Moon are billions of years old, the impacts were much more common during the early stages of the solar system's formation. There are craters on the Earth's surface as well. They are just harder to see, because the surface of the Earth changes faster because we have an atmosphere and erosion.

Yes, there are craters on the Moon. Any planet with a solid surface and not too much of an atmosphere will have craters.

The craters are caused by impacts from asteroids and comets.
Craters are depressions in a planet's or moon's surface caused when a meteor hits the surface. On the moon craters remain undisturbed because there are no environmental forces like wind and rain to disturb resulting shape of the crater.
