Rocks on Earth's surface are shaped by various geological processes, such as weathering, erosion, and biological activity, which give them diverse colors and textures. In contrast, moon rocks have been exposed to a harsh lunar environment with minimal atmosphere, leading to fewer alterations and a more uniform appearance. Additionally, the moon's geological history differs significantly from Earth's, resulting in distinct mineral compositions and formations. This combination of factors contributes to the stark differences in appearance between Earth rocks and moon rocks.

Where would you find igneous rocks with larger crystal at the surface or below the surface?

Igneous rocks with larger crystals are typically found below the surface where there is slower cooling, allowing time for crystals to grow. These rocks are known as intrusive igneous rocks and are usually found in the Earth's crust, in regions of volcanic activity or in mountain ranges.
