The moon doesn't have an atmosphere and there any space matter will strike directly, where the earths atmosphere generally burns up space matter on entry. However, if you were on the moon and looked at the earth we are heavily pitted, think of the landscape near where you are

Why are more craters present on the moons surface than on earths?
because the moon does not have a equater like the earth to protact it self ;)
Why is the moons surface much more heavily cratered than earths surface?
A Biblical answer from Genesis 1 would be that in the beginning the Earth was covered with water. During creation week this water was separated into areas on the Earth and above the Earth. Like seas/lakes below and a "giant peel" of water above somewhere in the stratosphere. Any Meteors impacting the earth at first would fall in water, later go through the "peel of water". So only after the Flood Meteors that survived the Atmosphere would hit the Earth and leave a crater, hence less craters on Earth.
When only a sliver part of the moons surface is lit what is it called?
Cresent.
Is the same size as earth has no moons and has thick atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide?
Venus is the same size as Earth and has no moons and has a thick atmosphere of mostly carbon dioxide.
Can super moons cause earthquakes?
So called Super Moons are when the moon is closer to the Earth than usual. There is no correlation between the distance of the Earth to the Moon and earthquakes.
What is the earth's moons surface like?
The moons surface is covered with regolith. There are 2 main kinds of surface; maria and highlands. There are lots of craters and dust. the moons sky is always black.it has no air or water
What occurs when the moons shadow falls on the earth surface?
eclipse
What is moons gravity compared to earth?
16.55% as strong on the surface.
Is the moons surface rocky?
yes it has canyons and mountains like earth
Why don't moons have moons?
The moon has plenty of gravity. In accordance with its mass and radius, any object weighs about 16.5% as much on the moon's surface as it does on the Earth's surface.
What fraction of the moons gravity is the moons gravity?
The moon's gravity is essentially identical to 100% of the moon's gravity, and results in gravitational forces on its surface that average about 16% of the corresponding forces on the Earth's surface.
Is there a hole in the moon's surface?
the holes in the moons surface are where astroids hit the moons surface
What powers surface ocean currents?
Uneven heating from the sun.
Can other planets have eclipses?
Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis. These can be seen from Earth; the moons' shadows are seen moving over Jupiter's surface. Well, Jupiter's visible part at any rate - it doesn't have a surface like Earth.Yes. Jupiter, with its relatively huge moons, has solar eclipses on a daily basis.

When you are you closer to the Moon's surface or the earths core?
None, only the earths core is more closer, the moons surface is 37.000 Vertices from earth
Is there gravity on the moons surface?
1/6 th that of the Earth's because it is 6 times less massive
Do you see all of moons surface from earth?
No, due to it's orbit, the same side is always to us.
