the atmosphere of moon is weaker than the earth so many meteorites fall on moon. the meteorites dont get destroyed due to atmospheric friction.
but atmosphere of earth is denser so when small meteorites enter in the atmosphere due to atmospheric friction it gets destroyed, but the larger meteorites dont destroyed fully so it fall on earth.
so moon have more craters then the earth.
