Answer: There are few ‘laws’ in science. Those ‘laws’ are so named for historical reasons, but they are theoretical in nature. They set out what happens when a theory is applied in practice. A theory is simply the best explanation we have for understanding why some process takes place and predicting what the result will be.

Explanation: Anyone who describes something as “just a theory” does not understand what a theory is. Laws are arbitrary human rules. Theories are severely tested and re-tested explanations of why things happen in the real physical world and can be used to make predictions about outcomes.

Some would say that theories are about why something happens and laws (in science) describe what happens. But this simply makes a scientific ‘law’ a subset of a scientific theory, explaining how to make predictions.

Why​ ​does​ ​Earth​ ​have​ ​fewer​ ​impact​ ​craters​ ​than​ ​other​ ​planets?​ ​Explain​ ​at​ ​least​ ​four​ ​reasons!
aev [14]

Answer:

The process of erosion uses weather, water, and plants to break down the ground on earth so that craters become virtually nothing. ... The Earth's gravity is stronger than the moon's, so it attracts more space debris than the moon does.

Primarily because earths' atmosphere disintegrates many meteorites before they reach the Earth. Secondarily because earth's more active tectonic motions delete them
