The earth has an atmosphere which produces weathering of the land surfaces. Weathering gradually wears down features such as crater rims so the craters gradually become less evident and eventually disappear.

Why are craters on earth surface less evident than those on terrestrial planets surfaces?

Craters on Earth's surface are less evident than those on terrestrial planets because of erosion processes like weathering, tectonic activity, and atmospheric conditions. These processes continuously reshape Earth's surface, gradually filling in and erasing evidence of impact craters over time. Additionally, Earth's active geological processes, such as volcanic activity and plate tectonics, can also contribute to hiding or altering the appearance of impact craters.
