What are Galileo's moon observations?
Galileo discovered that between the moons night and day sides the top was sometimes irregular and sometimes the bottom was smooth. He realized the irregularities were because the mountains on the moon.
What is the moon highlands?
its a terrae
How could you find the relative ages of the Moon's maria and highlands?
To determine the relative ages of the Moon's maria and highlands, scientists analyze the density and distribution of impact craters on their surfaces. The highlands, which are heavily cratered, are older than the maria, which have fewer craters due to younger volcanic activity that filled in the basins. Radiometric dating of lunar samples can also provide age estimates, but crater counting is a primary method for establishing relative ages. By comparing these features, researchers can infer the geological history of the Moon.
What are the moon's heavily cratered regions called?
The heavily cratered regions on the moon are called the highlands or the lunar highlands. These areas are older and have more craters compared to the smoother maria regions.
What are highlands of the moon called?
Terrae
What feature of the moon did Galileo identify?
Galileo correctly inferred that some of the light-colored features he saw on the moons surface were highlands, or mountains.(:

Why did Galileo name the Moon the Moon?
Galileo did not name the Moon the Moon.
What are the three features Galileo saw on the moon?
He found that the Earth moves around that sun. The surface of the moon seemed pitted with craters. and the third one I don't know. Hope the other two help! :)
Name the three kinds of features that Galileo saw on the Moon's surface?
Craters. Mountainous areas. Also, the dark areas called "maria" are very prominent, mainly on the side of the Moon facing Earth. The whole surface is covered in broken rock and dust. That's why astronauts left footprints.

What moon Europa was named by Galileo?
The question may mean "Was the moon Europa named by Galileo?" The answer to that is NO. Galileo discovered this moon, but it was named by another astronomer, called Simon Marius.
