Lunar Landscapes
Lunar landscapes refer to the surface features of the Moon, characterized by vast plains, craters, and mountains. The surface is covered in a fine dust called regolith, formed by the impact of meteoroids over billions of years. These features create a stark, grayish terrain that lacks atmosphere, resulting in extreme temperature variations.
Craters on the Moon vary in size and depth, formed by collisions with asteroids and comets. The largest and most notable craters include Tycho and Copernicus. The lunar maria, or "seas," are dark basaltic plains created by ancient volcanic activity, contrasting with the lighter highlands that dominate the lunar surface.
