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.
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.
The moon has no atmosphere or oceans that tend to wash away or hide impact craters like they do on Earth.
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.
No. Most of the impact craters that have formed on Earth have been destroyed and buried by geologic processes, processes that the moon lacks. While some recent impact craters on Earth remain visible on the surface, they are too small to be seen from the moon.
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.

Unlike Earth, the moon has no geologic activity, not atmosphere, and no water to erode, bury, or otherwise destroy craters. Except for newer impact craters, the moon's surface has changed relatively little since soon after its formation while none of Earth's original surface is still intact.
Impact craters.

Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
The craters on the Moon are considered to be impact craters, caused by meteoroids striking the Moon.
Yes, but there are not so many craters, per square kilometer,as on the Moon.
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.
The circles visible on the surface of the moon are indeed craters made by the impact of bodies from space.
The moon's craters are impact craters, formed by collisions of interplanetary debris (asteroids, comets, etc.) with the surface of the moon.
There is no significant amount of erosion on the Moon.
Some of the impact craters are young. Those inside or overlapping older craters are obviously younger, as are those with streamers of debris overlying older craters.
It is rocky with craters.
