Yes, exclusively. The entire surface of the Moon is rock in one form or another.
The term for rocky bodies that orbit the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter is "asteroids." These objects are remnants from the early solar system that never formed into a planet due to the gravitational influence of Jupiter.
The craters on the moon were formed by impacts from meteoroids and asteroids over billions of years. Since the moon has little to no atmosphere to burn up these objects before they hit the surface, they collide directly with the moon's rocky terrain, creating craters of various sizes.
Asteroids and comets are the two space objects that produce meteorites when they enter Earth's atmosphere and survive the descent to reach the surface. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, while comets are composed of ice, dust, and rock.
The Moon has a rocky, dusty surface covered with gray-colored fine dust and broken rocks, known as regolith. It’s full of craters, mountain ranges, and flat plains called maria formed by ancient volcanic activity. There’s no atmosphere or water, so the surface is dry and exposed to extreme temperatures. 🚗 Want to explore new places on Earth (not the Moon)?

A large tall rocky area of land that protrudes from the earth's surface is a mountain. Mountains are formed by the bending and buckling of the rock under the land.

Yes, Pluto has a rocky and solid surface.

Rocky surface but very gaseous atmosphere.
The first rocky bodies that formed in the Solar System are known as planetesimals. These small, solid objects formed from the dust and gas in the protoplanetary disk surrounding the young Sun. Through processes of accretion, they collided and merged over time, eventually leading to the formation of larger bodies, including planets.
