a crater
The earth's atmosphere protects it from small meteorites - actually the specific part is the mesosphere. When meteorites contact this part of the atmosphere they wither burn up or become very small. I don't understant the "earth's moon is" part, sorry.
yes. The craters you see with the naked eye looking at the moon are from meteors striking the moon. meteorites are what is left of a meteor that has already struck a large body (such as a planet or moon)
They are the craters on the moon, caused by the impact of meteorites.
Depressions on the Moon formed by large meteorites are called impact craters. They are created when a meteorite collides with the Moon's surface, causing material to be ejected and forming a crater.
it didn't crash on the moon it landed on the moon
Since the moon doesn't have an atmosphere, meteorites are able to hit the moon and this forms the craters.

The moon doesn't have an atmosphere, so meteorites hit the surface and create the craters. Earth's atmosphere causes most meteorites to burn up due to air friction before the meteorite can crash on to the surface. A 'shooting-star' is a meteorite burning up in the sky.

From meteorites hitting it.
The impact craters on the moon's surface are obvious clues to the fact that meteorites have crashed into our natural satellite. that tell us that the moon doesn't have oxygen because if it have oxygen the meteorites would burn
To date, no form of life has been discovered on the moon. There was some speculation that simple forms could have been brought to the moon via meteorites and survived beneath the surface but no one has been able to prove this.
They are formed by asteroids and meteorites crashing into the surface of the moon

Moon rocks are rocks that have been collected from the surface of the moon by astronauts during space missions. Meteorites, on the other hand, are space rocks that have entered Earth's atmosphere and landed on the planet's surface. Moon rocks originate from the moon, while meteorites come from various sources in space.
