Two reasons. The moon no longer has active volcanoes to cover meteor strikes and the moon does not have an atmosphere, so strikes that would otherwise be burned up in an atmosphere are not burned.
Plus there is not erosion to speak of on the moon.
A planet with active volcanoes will have fewer craters, as older craters will tend to be buried by lava and ash.
Craters and the position of the planet.
A planet with fewer active volcanoes would have more craters, as the ash and lava from volcanoes will cover existing craters.
The classification of Pluto as a planet impacts how we categorize objects in our solar system. Understanding Pluto's status helps us understand the characteristics and evolution of celestial bodies. It also affects our perspective on how we define and study planets.
The rotation of the planets was mainly determined closer to the beginning of the solar system, as it was still being formed. Large impacts early on would have set the planets spinning at certain rates, some even in the opposite direction. They have kept spinning over the centuries as there is not much to slow them down - only orbiting bodies or subsequent impacts.
The Moon is not a planet, it, as the name suggest, is a moon.It is not geologically active anymore.
Impacts played a significant role in the early solar system by helping to shape the planets and other celestial bodies. They contributed to the planet formation process by delivering materials and causing differentiation. Additionally, impacts were responsible for creating the craters we observe on many planetary surfaces today.
There are two bodies in the solar system that posses active volcanos. One is Venus, the second planet from the sun. Another is Jupiter's moon Io. Io has almost constantly erupting volcanos, due to the friction caused by Jupiter's immense gravity.
The planet is Earth
A planet with active volcanoes will have fewer craters, as older craters will tend to be buried by lava and ash.
If you meant all terrestrial bodies (including moons) Its io (io has the least amount of water). If you meant terrestrial planets (only planets) its venus and earth they both have an active core
No, the planet is to hot for it to have bodies of water
it has volcanoes, but none are active

The planet Earth originally formed with various water soluble compounds present in its crust. The water content of the Earth probably was the result of comet impacts which came after the original formation of the planet. Soluble compounds gradually dissolved out of their original rock formations, into the water.
