Without Radioisotope dating it is very difficult to determine the age of a surface exactly. One way to estimate the age of the surface is looking at the number of impact craters. Assuming meteorites hit at regular intervals, the surface with more impact craters is the oldest.

What direction of the compass does the shadow point to at midday?

At midday, when the sun is at its highest point in the sky, shadows typically point directly north in the Northern Hemisphere and directly south in the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the sun is positioned in the southern part of the sky in the Northern Hemisphere and in the northern part in the Southern Hemisphere. The exact direction can vary slightly depending on the time of year and the observer's latitude.
