A Spacecraft Passing Over the Lunar Surface

A side view of a rocket vehicle moves across a plain lunar landscape. Deep bowl-shaped craters and scattered moon rocks cover the rugged ground below the passing craft.

Features of the Moon and Its Terrain

The surface of the Moon is covered in fine dust called regolith alongside millions of impact craters formed by meteoroid collisions over billions of years. Because the Moon lacks an atmosphere, there is no wind or weather to erode these craters, preserving their sharp edges indefinitely.

Natural Colors of the Lunar Environment

  • Moon ground: charcoal gray, silver dust, and dark basaltic rock
  • Moon craters: shadow black in deep crevices and light ash gray along edges
  • Moon rocks: weathered gray, dull white, or dark brown minerality
  • Space background: pitch black dotted with distant white stars
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

How were craters formed on the surface of the Moon?
Craters were created when asteroids, comets, and meteoroids slammed into the lunar surface at high speeds. The force of impact threw rocks outward and left deep circular basins behind.
Why are footprints and craters preserved on the Moon for millions of years?
The Moon has no atmospheric air, which means there is no wind, rain, or erosion. Any mark made on the lunar surface remains completely undisturbed unless hit by another space rock.
What color does the Moon actually look like up close?
Up close, the Moon is predominantly dark gray and brownish gray, similar to asphalt or worn concrete. It only appears bright white from Earth because it reflects sunlight against the dark night sky.
