The main reason is that there is no weather on the moon to erode the surface. Additionally, there is no tectonic movement of the surface of the moon. Because of both these things, the surface of the moon is stable, while the earth's surface is constantly being altered.

The moon does no longer have an ecosystem have been through fact the earth has one. additionally it somewhat is theory that the moon replaced right into a super chew of the earth yet whilst a super Astrid hit the earth a super area of the earth replaced into knocked out and commenced to orbit the earth . yet another theory if that a super meteor bathe hit earth and the moon starting to be the "oceans" on the moon or extra useful stated as super fields of very small craters interior extensive craters

The moon's surface changes very little, so a crater created a million yeas ago is still visible.
Most of the earth's surface is ocean, so most meteors fall there. Of those that fall on land, the craters are eroded by the weather and vegitation.

Earth's thicker atmosphere (the moon has almost none), causes most meteors to disintegrate before ever hitting the planet. Also our natural forces, weather, erosion, plants and animals, tend to cover up or destroy any traces of a crater from anything that does crash. Especially over millions of years, unlike the moon which shows everything over that time.

This is just a guess but I would suppose it is because we on Earth are protected by our atmosphere. The moon has none. Besides burning up the smaller objects that enter out atmosphere, it could also deflect objects that attempted to enter at an improper angle.

Because of the moon's almost non existent atmosphere.
Meotorites and other space debris normally burn up before they reach the earth's surface due to friction in the atmosphere.

Most asteroids burn up before they actually hit the earth. The moon doesn't have that kind of an electromagnet field.
