Why does the moon have impact craters that are more visible than earth's?

Answer 1

The Moon is a more bleach environment and the Earth has Plant Life, Water, buildings, and that kind of thing. So craters on the Moon are seen better because it is more distinctive, the Moon is basically rock, dust, and more rock.

Answer 2

Because earth has a larger atmosphere so the meteors that come to hit earth are really small. The moon has a smaller atmosphere so the meteors that hit the moon are bigger. So resulting in lots of craters.

Also, there's no weathering to speak of on the moon, so craters from a million years ago are still "fresh". Crates on Earth get worn down or distorted from continental drift or buried under sediment so they're harder to see.
The earth has its share of craters, but where the moon is barren and empty with all its craters visible, the earth is covered with oceans and vegetation and deserts and glaciers and cities which conceal most craters.

Answer 3

The moon's lack of atmosphere means that impact craters are not eroded by weathering processes like on Earth. Additionally, the moon's slower rate of geological activity means that craters remain more preserved over time.

Answer 4

The moon has no atmosphere or oceans that tend to wash away or hide impact craters like they do on Earth.

Answer 5

Impact craters on the Earth are erased over the long term by volcanic action and the erosion of wind and water.

The Moon has none of these factors, so craters on the Moon last forever.
