There are craters on Earth. Meteor Crater, Arizona is one example, but there are lots of others as well. On Earth, wind and rain and the activities of plants and animals cause erosion, so the craters fade over time. Also, the atmosphere does slow down or vaporize many meteors, so there aren't as many strikes in the first place.
