What is the significant feature of the moon?

One significant feature of the moon is its gravitational pull, which causes the tides on Earth. Another significant feature is its lack of atmosphere, which exposes it to space debris and radiation. Additionally, the moon's phases, caused by its position relative to the sun and Earth, are another notable feature.


What is the feature that covers much of the Moon's surface?

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.

What phase of the moon is the entire lit surface of the moon seen from Earth?

The phase of the moon when the entire lit surface is visible from Earth is called the Full Moon. During this phase, the Earth is positioned between the Sun and the Moon, allowing the sunlight to fully illuminate the Moon's surface. This occurs approximately once a month, making the Full Moon a prominent feature in the night sky.


What two things are found on the moon and are not found on earth?

The study of the few samples of rock returned from the moon with the Apollo crews strongly suggests that the moon and the earth are made of pretty much the same stuff. One theory for the formation of the moon, and arguably the best one so far, is that something really, really big slammed into the earth early in the formation of the planet. Whatever it was represented a good fraction of the mass of the earth, and it was large enough to "crash into" and then "tear away" from the earth, leaving both bodies molten and able to reform under their own gravity. As to what two things are found on the moon that are not found on earth, there is a lot of geological similarity between the two bodies. If we just consider two obvious characteristics, the two things that stand out about the moon, at least as compared to earth, are its lack of an atmosphere and its low(er) gravity.
