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!

Why does the moon have crators in it?
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.
When objects hit the moon what are they called?
Objects that hit the moon are typically referred to as meteoroids or asteroids. When they reach the moon's surface, they create impact craters.
Why are Mercury and the Earth's moon so cratered?
Because in the past, just after the moon and Mercury was formed a lot of asteroids hit mercury and the moon.
Why has the moon got holes?
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.
What happens to asteroids that make craters on the Moon?
The asteroids are destroyed on impact and their material becomes part of the Moon.
Has an asteroid hit the moon?
Many asteroids have hit the moon. That's why it's covered in craters.
Why are there many craters?
Asteroids, meteors, comets, or some type of space rock that hit the Moon and causes the crater.
What is the name of the things that hit the moon to make the craters?
The craters on the moon were formed by the impacts of asteroids and comets.

Can near earth asteroids crash into the moon?
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.

Can asteroids hit California?
Yes. Asteroids can hit anywhere.
Does asteroids have a moon?
Do*
Why do asteroids hit the moon?
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.
Can asteroids hit Saturn?
Yes. Asteroids can hit any planet.
