My guess is that surface craters and details look more pronounced on the Moon than the Earth due to the fact that the craters are in fact larger relative to the overall size of the planetary body they are on. Our brain is going to automatically compare the peaks and valleys of whatever feature we are looking relative to the body it is on. And when that body is much larger, the details appear less pronounced, when in reality they are the same size as the one on their smaller-body counterparts. The eye simply has more to take in, and thus downplays the contrast caused by the elevation changes. I hope that makes sense.
