The answer, my friend, is simple. It's Earth. Most scientists believe that a giant asteroid hit Earth when it was forming, and a chunk of Earth flew into space making our beloved moon.
- All joking aside, I'm not kidding. :)
The material that covers the surface of the moon is called regolith, which is also called moon dust. Regolith is made up of the crushed fine powder of volcanic glass and rock fragments.
The feature that covers much of the Moon's surface is called the maria, which are large, dark, basaltic plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions. The maria are mainly located on the side of the Moon facing Earth.
The lunar mare, which are large, dark areas, covers most of the lunar surface of the moon. Mare is the Latin word for sea, and these areas were once believed to be vast bodies of water. They are now known to be solidified lava plains formed by ancient volcanic activity.
No, but it does have deep/large creators. Valleys are created by glaciers and a geologically active crust, neither of which the Moon has. Creators from meteor and comet impacts make up the majority of the Moon's surface features.
The outer surface of the moon is called the crust.

Apart from the Moon itself? I would guess at the maria which covers 31% of the surface (Near side). or The Mantle.
he was amazed as from what he saw one night
The troposphere is the atmospheric zone that covers approximately 70% of the Earth's surface. It is where most weather phenomena occur and where the majority of Earth's atmospheric gases are found.
The layer of gray debris that covers the moon is called regolith. It is a mixture of dust, soil, broken rock, and other materials that have accumulated on the moon's surface over billions of years.

Solar eclipses are visible only for a small portion of the Earth's surface where the moon covers the sun. Lunar eclipses in which the Earth's shadow covers the moon are visible for long distances but it's the color of the moon effected by those not the Earth.
The moons surface has mountainous highlands and large circular plains. The circular plains are called Maria. The mountain has heights up to 25000 feet.

its called a lunar eclipse, when the shadow of the earth covers the moon
