Why is the moon full of craters but the earth is not?

The Moon's surface is heavily cratered because of of meteor impacts. Meteors are able to more commonly strike the Moon's surface than the Earth's surface because the Moon's atmosphere is not as strong as the Earth's, so less meteors burn up in the Moon's atmosphere than they do in the Earth's atmospheres. So the craters are simply the result of heavy meteor impacts. Answer #2 The moon has no weather to erode craters. Speculation is that the earth has been hit at least as many times as the moon because of our greater mass. Wind, water, and plate tectonics wipe out the evidence on earth.
