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.

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 ;)
What are earths moons names?
The Moon Lunar
Is it true that the moons average density is similar to the density of earths core?
No, I don't think...
How is the moons soil different from earths soil?
s the moon is mostly a vary big rock \
When only a sliver part of the moons surface is lit what is it called?
Cresent.
Which of Jupiter's moons is the most heavily cratered object in the solar system?
The most heavily cratered moon in the solar system is Callisto.
Which of mars moons is the smallest in th solar system?
Deimos is the smallest of Mars' moons. It is small, lumpy, and heavily cratered. It whirls around mars every 30 hours.
How much more is Earths surface of gravity than the Moon's?
Earths surface of gravity is 4.6m/s2 more than moons.
Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?
Earth's core
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
Are Uranus' five largest moons like?
They have Icy, cratered surfaces.
How much of the moons surface can be seen from the earths surface when full?
The Moon is roughly spherical; weather permitting, we see the near half of the Moon.
What is the gravity on the moon lo?
About 0.183g, where one g is the earths gravity, so about one fifth of the earths gravity. It is similar to our own moons surface gravity.

What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
