In short: Atmosphere.

A lot of meteors that come in contact with earth burn up in the atmosphere, and don’t make an impact.

Furthermore, there are a lot of impact craters that have been worn down by weather, covered over by plant growth, and so forth – again, essentially due to the fact that we have an atmosphere.
