There are not more impacts on Earth, than on the moon. Its just because
the Earth's surface is MUCH bigger. It would be like like saying that
there are more impacts on Jupiter than on Earth ! Of course there are
more - Jupiter is much bigger !

   the
   landing
 module was descending toward the surface of the moon. The LM
   can
 be
   seen
 just to the upper right of the big crater.

 BTW, this was an exercise in reducing the size of a large
   photo.
   First I
 copied and pasted the full-size photo into the message; then
   I
 put a
 checkmark in View HTML Source so I could see the HTML the
   Rich
   Text
 Editor creates automatically, found the image tag, and
   changed
 the
 dimensions, reducing both height and width by half.

   
   
What is also astounding about the photograph is the number of
 craters
   that virtually cover the landscape. Large or small.
   
And this is not unusual. If the Earth was barren like the
   moon,
 we'd
   have as much of a pock-marked landscape as the moon. But we have
 soil
   and water and ice that covers our planet so therefore, in time,
   most
   craters get covered up or their rims erode and they blend in
   with
 the
   surroundings
  
   Er, is this the reason you don't accept climate change
 theory?ie.
   that you simply don't understand it?
  
   The Earth has very few craters due to the atmosphere burning up
   the
   majority of meteorites in the high atmosphere. The Moon has no
   atmosphere at all. That is why there are very few craters on
   Earth,
   because of the atmosphere, not because of soil and water and
   ice
   covering them up.
  
   This misundertanding of yours also pertains to your
   understanding of
   climate-change theory, and how you have failed to understand the
   'greenhouse effect '- such as on Venus - which is what our
   planet
 will
   look like if we do not stop 'greenhouse gases' entering our
 atmosphere
   at a huge rate. It is like a phase transition (like when water
 changes
   from water to steam), after a certain point, there is no return
   and
 the
   transition occurs - in the case of a planet - HEAT, unable to
   escape
 the
   atmosphere as it noramlly does. Theoretically, according to
   physics,
 the
   air temperature could become so hot quite quickly that you will
   die.
 All
   water could evaporate quickly, and all living organisms (except
 maybe
   some amoebas) will die. On Venus the surface temperature, due to
 these
   'greenhouse gases', is about 860 degrees farhenheight which is
   much
   hotter than any part of Mercury which is much closer to the sun
   than
   Venus. Venus is an example of a planet (about the same size as
   ours)
 in
   which greenhouse gases became dominant - heat could not escape
   from
 the
   the atmosphere, and the temperature just kept getting hotter,
   quite
   quickly. The rest is history.

 Good argumentative method you got there Shemp. You only degrade
   yourself
 with this. It comes back to you and lodges in the cells of your
   heart,
 poisoning it.
   
   
   
That was actually a take off on Karnac, the Johnny Carson character,
