The Moon's light-colored features are primarily called "lunar highlands." These areas are composed mostly of anorthosite, a type of rock that reflects sunlight well, giving them a bright appearance. In contrast, the darker regions, known as "maria," are basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic activity. Together, these features create the Moon's distinctive appearance when viewed from Earth.
