Most of the surface of the Moon is covered by fine dust created by meteor impacts and by heating of the crustal rocks in the near-vacuum. The lack of water on the Moon prevents this dust from being bound into sedimentary rocks. The depth of the dust does not seem to be very great in any location examined, and averages a few centimeters at most.

Is the moon's surface hard or soft?
Saturn is a gas giant, and does not have a surface to speak of.
How much of the moon's surface is covered with water?
About 0.005% of the moon's surface is covered with water, mainly in the form of ice found in shadowed craters near the poles. This water ice is believed to have been delivered by comets and other celestial bodies over millions of years.
What percentage of the moon is covered in maria?
The dark areas on the Moon's surface are called maria. The maria cover only 15 percent of the lunar surface. The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas. Mare Imbrium or the Sea of Showers is the largest mare at 700 miles in diameter.
Is the moon soft or hard?

What kind of surfase of moon?
the moon has a very rough and dusty surface. It is covered by mountains of dust.
What percentage is the moon covered with water?
The moon is not covered with water - it is a dry and airless celestial body with no liquid water on its surface. There may be some water ice in shadowed craters, but it is minimal compared to the total surface area of the moon.
What is Jupiter's moon Io covered in?

What is the surfuce of the moon like?
The surface of the Moon is rocky and covered with craters, mountains, and plains. It has no atmosphere, so there is no weathering or erosion like on Earth. The surface is also covered in a layer of fine, powdery dust called regolith.
How much of the moon's surface is covered with water?
About 0.005% of the moon's surface is covered with water, mainly in the form of ice found in shadowed craters near the poles. This water ice is believed to have been delivered by comets and other celestial bodies over millions of years.
What did chemist learn about the mons surface by analyzing moon rocks?
The rocks were similar to rocks formed by volcanoes on Earth, suggesting that vast oceans of molten lava once covered the moon's surface.
