The surface of the moon contains craters of all sizes and dry lunar soil. The soil does not contain air and anything organic. Grabens, maria, domes and rilles are other things that can be found on Moon's surface.
The surface of the moon is primarily made of rocky material, specifically a type of rock called basalt. It also contains other elements and minerals such as silicon, iron, magnesium, and calcium. The surface is covered in a layer of dust and rocky debris called regolith.
One obvious difference is: our moon is the only one so far observed whose rotational and orbital periods are the same (we only see one side of it from here). Also, Earth seems to be the only planet with only one moon. Some other differences are: chemical and mineral makeup, many of the moons are far enough from the sun that they have some type of ice on their surface (like ammonia or carbon dioxide).
The Moon is in synchronous rotation, which means it rotates about its axis in about the same time it takes to orbit the Earth. This results in it keeping nearly the same face turned towards the Earth at all times. The Moon used to rotate at a faster rate, but early in its history, its rotation slowed and became locked in this orientation as a result of frictional effects associated with tidal deformations caused by the Earth.Small variations (libration) in the angle from which the Moon is seen allow about 59% of its surface to be seen from the Earth (but only half at any instant).The side of the Moon that faces Earth is called the near side, and the opposite side the far side. The far side is often inaccurately called the "dark side," but in fact, it is illuminated exactly as often as the near side: once per lunar day, during the new Moon phase we observe on Earth when the near side is dark. The far side of the Moon was first photographed by the Soviet probe Luna 3 in 1959. One distinguishing feature of the far side is its almost complete lack of maria.
No Earth women have ever been on the moon, but many have been over the moon.
A blue Moon is when 2 full moons happen in 1 month.
Saturn's moon Titan has liquid methane on and presumably below the surface.
Europa is the moon of Jupiter with a surface made mostly of water ice. This moon is believed to have a subsurface ocean that may contain more water than all of Earth's oceans combined.
The outer surface of the moon is called the crust.
Moon rocks are primarily composed of basalt, a volcanic rock rich in iron and magnesium. They also contain minerals such as plagioclase feldspar, pyroxenes, and olivine. Additionally, moon rocks may contain glass beads formed from melted rock during meteorite impacts on the surface.
The moon's surface is regolith (ground up rock).
The moon has a solid (terrestrial) surface.
Yes, there is virtually no liquid on the surface of the moon.
Moon has a post office. The moon does not. Moon has air. The moon does not. Moon has people, bugs and plants. The moon does not. Also, their geology is completely different. Otherwise, they are somewhat the same.
There's plenty of gravity on the moon. On the moon's surface, it's a full 161/2% of what it is on the Earth's surface.
Asteroids and gravity create the surface features on the moon.
