Well we don't know is the answer to that one. We can't answer that for Earth, let alone a planet with an atmosphere that blocks out a view of the surface. What we do know is it is slightly further away from the asteriod belt than we are, so technically there should be fewer rogue asteroids on paths that cross its orbit than ours. I say technically, obviously being closer to the sun it has travels less distance around the sun that we do. So if a rogue asteroid crosses the path of Earth and Venus, it has more chance of hitting venus because it will be in one particuarly place more often. The same goes with Comets too. Sungrazing comets that cross all the planets orbits are more likely to hit venus than Earth. It's still a very very small chance per comet... but it's a slightly higher small chance in that case!
The craters on the moon were formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids over billions of years. Since the moon has little to no atmosphere to burn up these objects before they hit the surface, they collide directly with the moon's rocky terrain, creating craters of various sizes.
Objects that hit the moon are typically referred to as meteoroids or asteroids. When they reach the moon's surface, they create impact craters.
Because in the past, just after the moon and Mercury was formed a lot of asteroids hit mercury and the moon.
The "holes" on the moon are actually impact craters formed when meteorites and asteroids collide with its surface. These craters are remnants of past cosmic collisions that have occurred over billions of years, giving the moon its pockmarked appearance.
The asteroids are destroyed on impact and their material becomes part of the Moon.
Many asteroids have hit the moon. That's why it's covered in craters.
Asteroids, meteors, comets, or some type of space rock that hit the Moon and causes the crater.

Yes as a matter of fact they can hit the Moon. Take a look at the Moon through a telescope and you will see what I mean.

Yes. Asteroids can hit anywhere.
Do*
Asteroids hit the moon because the moon lacks a protective atmosphere like Earth's that can burn up or break apart incoming objects. Over time, the moon's surface has been bombarded by asteroid impacts due to the lack of atmospheric protection.
Yes. Asteroids can hit any planet.
