Weathering, volcanic action and plate tectonic action means that the surface of the Earth is constantly changing and meteor impact craters are eroded away . The surface of the moon is dead and there are no processes to remove the craters from its surface.

It is. But unlike the Moon or Mercury, Earth has an atmosphere, which erodes, and a dynamic crust, (plate tectonics), which renews and alters its surface wiping out most signs of craters.
What planet has a densely cratered surface like the moon?

Mercury is very cratered, like the Moon.
Does mercury have special features?
Yes, it is cratered like the moon but is very dense.
Why isn't the Earths created like the moon and Mercury?
because of volcanic action, erosion and and tectonic plates grinding agaist each other it makes the Earth rocky and rough, but not making it cratered like the moon and mercury.
Why is the moon's surface much heavily cratered than earth surface?
The moon has no atmosphere and is geologically inactive.The craters on earth have been eroded by weather, geological events and life
Is moon astar?
No.:moon isnt a star...sun is a star...moon is a satellite...earth's satellite.
